Well, i rechecked that wire and it didnt seem to be a problem. i grounded it manually with the car on and it didnt make the light go out. But then i decided to make the generator run as a motor to make sure it wasnt that. I followed the instructions on http://www.intelab.com/swem/service%20notes.htm#AMP%20Light%20ON and made all the proper connections. the generator ran very fast and was drawing a high current. my book suggests a burnt commutator. But im not getting a charge at all out of this- seems like it would overcharge with this am i wrong? So is this possibly the cause of my lit amp light?
