Re: Generator Light

it only means one of two things.
1. The system isn't charging (system voltage drops below 12.5 volts IIRC)
2. A wiring problem.

Re: Generator Light

So you have your truck back after getting the transmission swap done? I was hoping that I could get Larry in touch with you after you left the message on my phone. How did it turn out?
