Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
Instrument Cluster
The charge system warning indicator illuminates when there is no generator (GEN) output.
When the ignition switch contacts are closed, battery current flows through the charge indicator and the parallel resistor (390 ohm) to the voltage
indicator, and the indicator illuminates.
When the generator builds up enough voltage to energize a circuit in the voltage regulator, the indicator goes out.
