| Charging warning indicator does not light with ignition switch "ON" and engine off. | Fuse blown | Check fuses |
| Light burned out | Replace light | |
| Wiring connection loose | Tighten loose connection | |
| Electronic voltage regulator | Disconnect the voltage regulator to see if light turns off. If light turns off, replace voltage regulator. | |
| Charging warning indicator does not go out with engine running. (Battery requires frequent recharging) | Drive belt loose or worn | Adjust belt tension or replace belt |
| Battery cable loose, corroded or worn | Inspect cable connection, repair or replace cable | |
| Electronic voltage regulator or alternator | Disconnect the voltage regulator or alternator to see if light turns off. If light turns off, replace voltage regulator. | |
| Wiring | Repair or replace wiring | |
| Overcharge | Electronic voltage regulator | Disconnect the voltage regulator to see if light turns off. If light turns off, replace voltage regulator. |
| Voltage sensing wire | Repair or replace wiring | |
| Discharge | Drive belt loose or worn | Adjust belt tension or replace belt |
| Wiring connection loose or short circuit | Inspect wiring connection, repair or replace wiring | |
| Electronic voltage regulator or alternator | Disconnect the voltage regulator or alternator to see if light turns off. If light turns off, replace voltage regulator. | |
| Poor grounding | Inspect ground or repair | |
| Worn battery | Replace battery |
DescriptionThe charging system included a battery, an alternator with a built-in regulator, and the charging indicator light and wire.The Alternator has eight built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
