[T2] Gen light blinks

[Joseph Delecki]

Bob,



I believe you mentioned that you had the generator rebuilt and it is operating properly(?). And the generator belt is tensioned properly.  It’s possible to test the generator in place with automobile gauge voltage and current meters if you understand basic electricity . Also, perhaps your voltage regulator is causing the problem. I would give the voltage regulator a few taps and see if it frees up a relay.



If not, try swapping out the voltage regulator with a new one. If you had the generator rebuilt, it’s probably time for a new voltage regulator.

Typically generators fail by the brushes wearing out. This is more of a
service item and a feature of all DC generators. I can't say how often,
maybe every 30k miles? You can look at them with a flashlight, see if they
are long or short. Change thru the slots.
