The first thing I would do is check the light. High resistance at the bulb might
cause your problem, but mine seem to either work or not. The light is part of the
alternator circuit and it will not charge if it is broken.
The TM does not take into consideration the possibility of corrosion at the bulb.
Something I am having a lot of trouble with since my M1009 was without a windshield
for a long period of time. The bulb is pressed into a socket which is snapped into
the dash and connects to a printed circuit board. It can be reached from behind
without removing the dash if you kind of know were it is.
You should be getting greater than 14 v with the motor running.

Subject: [MV] CUCV GEN 1 light dim but always on when engine running.
So , SYMPTOMS
1. GEN light off,
2. turn key on, and gen 2 lights bright, gen 1 lights up slowly and is dim.
3. starting engine, gen 1 remains dim, and gen 2 goes out normaly.
4. following the 20 manual , I dicsonect the diagnostic leads on Gen 1 ,
and yep the Gen 1 light goes out.
5. seems I have just 12volts at gen 1 and total of 26 at gen 2.
So, any ideas ? it says check the wiring, but I find nothing to test to at
the pannel.
There is a black taped splice at the diagnostic leads, but, IS 12 volts not
to low ? should it not put out 14 ?
