Wiring Continuity Test

  1. Connect voltmeter between generator B+ terminal and ground. Voltmeter should indicate battery voltage. If battery voltage is not indicated, check wiring between generator and battery.
  2. Turn ignition on and ensure generator indicator light comes on. If light does not come on, check indicator light bulb and wiring between generator and warning light.
