Troubleshooting Hints


1. Visually inspect the hydrometer (built into the Battery).
^ Green eye - Battery is charged.
^ Dark eye - Charge and load test Battery. If Battery passes load test, refer to SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS.
^ Clear or light yellow eye - Battery electrolyte is low. Replace Battery.
2. Check that Starter Solenoid terminals "S" and "B" and Battery connections are clean and tight.
3. Check that Fusible Link A is undamaged. If Fusible Link A is open, check for a short to ground in CKT 2 or CKT 6.
4. Check that G100 and G101 are clean and tight.
