Yes I searched and read and I have a question still. Nothing new here as my Volt light will not come on with the key on engine off and the alt is not charging. I've pulled the instrument cluster and cleaned the printed circuit board. I cleaned the bulbs and sockets. All fuses are good and yes I checked the Gauges fuse. I have the resistor bulb. Still no Volt light with key on engine off and no charge from alt when running. So now this is where you all tell me to get a Field Fix module from Casper's Electronics. OK. But what if it is a problem with my alternator? I pulled the connector off of the regulator and grounded the brown wire and THAT makes my Volt light come on. Could it be that the alternator isn't working properly? I guess what I'm asking is - Is there anything else I can do to test for other issues. I believe that the alt is suspect based on all I've done. I know a field fix won't cure that so thats why I haven't gone that route yet. I do plan on connecting 12v switched through a 470 ohm 1/4 watt resister to see if that gets the alt to charge and if so then I'll order a field fix harness. If that ends up happening will the field fix also get the volts light to work?
