Indicator Warning Lamps II
47e Charging Indicator LampThe charging indicator lamp indicates to the driver whether the battery is being charged or not.
When ignition switch 20 is in the Drive position, current (+15 circuit) is supplied via fuse 13 to pin 5 of the main instrument display panel and on to one of the poles of indicator lamp 47e. The lamp's other pole is connected to generator 2 via pin 3 in the main instrument display panel.
When the generator is not rotating or if it is not charging for some reason or other, the charging warning lamp circuit will be grounded through the generator and the warning lamp will light up.
When the generator is charging, terminal D+ receives the same voltage as B+. The charging lamp is then supplied with the same voltage on both connections and the lamp goes out.
