Alt. 2 has been fixed and the Gen. 2 light is now off! When I tested both batteries with the engine running they’re at 28.5v. I suspect that’s because the rear battery is a little low, but I’m hoping that will change once I go drive her for a while and charge things back up. Thanks again for...

I got brave and took apart one of the old alternators. I believe I found the regulator. The piece below that’s white on one side and tan on the other with the two prongs on top. Pics below: This piece was sitting on top of the Regulator: I went ahead and ordered these 2 parts. They should...

Well this doesn’t look good… Not Running Front Battery 12.72 Rear Battery 12.53 Together 25.1 Running Front Battery 13.7 Rear Battery 12.3 Together 26.2 Maybe the Regulator for the passengers side alternator needs replace. That’s the area I accidentally tapped with the tiny screw driver...

This is really great! I need step by step since I don’t have an experience with this sort of thing. Thank you thank you. I’ll do all of this and report my results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for getting back to me. The Passengers Side Alternator was unplugged But I slightly touched where the plug goes inside the alternator. I guess that would be one of the prongs on the inside of the alternator. I think the side where the brown wire plug goes in. I can’t say for sure, but...

Hi Skinny! I’ve seen your name in plenty of threads! How exactly do I check the charging voltage in the truck? As far as a regulator what is it called exactly and where is it located? Sorry for all of the questions, I’m still learning and have a lot left to learn! My alternators are...

I pulled on each fuse link. Nothing seemed loose or wanted to give. Not sure if that means none are blown or what. Not sure what to do next?? Is there another way to test the fusible links? p.s. One of you said to test the alternator plug. How exactly do I do that? I’m still learning, bare...

Thank you!! I’ll check the wires now. I’ll have to figure out the size if one is blown. I have to go to Napa anyways, so it will work out. The Fuel Gauge stopped working after this incident. If it still doesn’t work after this fusible link stuff I may hit you guys up again. First things...

I think I’m starting to understand. I’ll pull on all of those near the back of the engine compartment. As well as the one I found near the alternator. I had no idea about these or how they work. I will look at Napa today for new links. Does the number on the tubing represent the wire gauge...

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m still learning so bare with me please. Are you meaning these black pieces with numbers at the ends of the wires? I’m guessing there might be fuses inside? Maybe I’m way off. Thanks again for any help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What the heck did I do? I was cleaning the plugs for the alternators of my M1009. I accidentally made contact with my tiny screw driver and a plug prong in the alternator on the passengers side. A spark or two flew. I first checked all of the fuses, none were blown. The Gen 2 Light is now on...
