I've got a stupid one for you...
Truck is an 86 c10 with the 4.3 v6, standard trans. Picked up the truck a few weeks back.
New battery, new terminal clamps, known good used alternator.
Alternator is not charging, connections seem to be good and clean.
So from past experience, I went in search of a charging lamp bulb on the dash, because I know on a lot of older vehicles this can cause such an issue. I was pretty sure about this, because I don't get a battery/charge/gen light when I turn the ignition on.
So I go and take the cluster surround off, and start searching for where this lamp might be.... and I cannot find it. So am I looking for something that isn't there?! There's a volt meter in the top left, which does seem to work.
Any ideas?
