Bunky Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I have a 3410S and in the process of putting a switch in the dash I found a light blue wire that comes off the regulator (with the Tan wire) and by the wiring diagram it appears to go to the Gen. light Everything appears to work Charging, lights etc.. I only see a place for 1 wire on the light... How many wires are supposed to be on the light???
HubbardRA Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Charging lights are usually wired in series and not chassis grounded. There should be two wires.
Bunky Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 I will have to double check my light then That's what I thought maybe there was a part broken off...

I wouldn't recommend tapping into another wire. I would connect it to an appropriate ignition switch terminal depending on if you want it always "hot" or only "hot" when key is on. I would use an appropriate guage wire and also put an appropriate size fuse or CB in that wire.
Bunky Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 The switch is for a saftey light I have proper gauge wire (12 gauge) which is bigger then the wire from the light it will be wired to the hot side of the solenoid with a 10 amp fuse... quote:Originally posted by dutch quote:Originally posted by Bunky I have a 3410S and in the process of putting a switch in the dash I found a light blue wire that comes off the regulator (with the Tan wire) and by the wiring diagram it appears to go to the Gen. light Everything appears to work Charging, lights etc..

Bunky Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 Ok well I took the light out and the wire is supposed to go up through the bottom so my light is broke and I put the number in on jacks and it doesn't come up.. Would it be ok If I just connected the two wires together
ambler Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 You could drill out the dash and put in an ampmeter.
JJ MARSHALL Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 is the bulb broken or the scocket for the bulb . i don't think i'ts a special bulb that it takes the way they are wired i'ts has to have at least 12 volts on each side of the light to make it go out. i hope that i unstood the question. JJ
Bunky Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 It's the Socket That's broke and It already has an ammeter... So can I just bypass the light???
