lndicator Lights
lndicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low beam
headlights to high beams, or when you use your hazard flashers. The next
few pages will also tell you about the indicator lights on your vehicle and
help you locate them.
Charging System Light
KO280
t
The charging system light will come on briefly when you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is working. Then
it
should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or comes on while
you are driving, you may have a problem with the electrical c\
harging system. It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive belt, or anothe\
r
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while this light is
on
could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
It is on the lower
right hand side
of your standard instrument cluster.

Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
I
KO278
When your engine
is not running, but the ignition is on (in the Run position),
the gage shows your battery's state of charge in
DC volts. When the engine
is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system. Readings
between the low and high warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
On the digital cluster, a box around the voltmeter symbol will\
begin to flash
when the charging system needs service.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading in either warning zone. If
you must drive, turn
off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical
system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
mailer Wiring Harness
Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The 5-wire harness is stored along the left rear frame crossme\
mber. The harness has no connector, and you should have a qualified serv\
ice person
wire your harness for you.
It must be routed out of your vehicle and attached
so that the trailer or the body won't pull it.
