Message: [QUOTE="jschildm, post: 1544038, member: 1864"] Update on what I found this weekend. First thing I did was ground the exciter (not sure if thats a word, but I am going to use it) wire, and sure enough, the battery light comes on. This means the bulb and that wiring is functional. I am not too surprised by this, as I was getting battery voltage on it when checked the wire with a DVM. I had another alternator sitting around, so I put it on and everything functions normally again. There was some sort of failure in the alternator that caused it not to charge, as well as the battery light not to come on (at any point). The windings appeared burnt to me, and the guy checking the alternator confirmed my thoughts. I am not sure if there was some other internal failure or not. Thanks for everyone's input and information on my problem. I couldn't find much information on if the battery light never came on (especially if the bulb was NOT burnt out), so maybe some of this information will help someone down the road. [/QUOTE]
