Current Checking

Check that battery voltage is a minimum of 12 volts. Charge as needed. Disconnect Blue wire from alternator terminal and connect Multimeter (US 1119 ) between alternator terminal and Blue wire. Set multimeter to 200-mA range. If reading is lower than 150-185 mA, check Blue wire between alternator and instrument panel or replace printed circuit in instrument cluster.
