The Tuul Crib 7,332 #1 Posted September 27, 2019 Got a question about the starter generator light. When the light is on does this mean it is charging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,146 #4 Posted September 27, 2019 Light should come on when you turn on the switch and stay on while cranking until the engine runs and the Generator starts putting out. What is your battery voltage engine off and what is it engine running? Should be 12.6 and about 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,491 #5 Posted September 27, 2019 To double check measure battery voltage. Start engine and see if voltage increases. If it does it is charging. Bad wiring to the light can cause it to light. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2,189 #7 Posted September 27, 2019 No sir it means something isnt working or hooked up correctly. they will come on when u first turn the key then as you turn it over and it starts the light should go off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,730 #8 Posted September 27, 2019 At an idle the generator light is usually on, once it idles up more, then it goes out. Are you saying it should even be out at an idle? @bottjernat1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,730 #10 Posted September 27, 2019 I set my idle by ear, and it seems like its pretty high, when it's out seems quite high for just idle. Don’t have any problem charging the battery. @pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
