Mike,
 
Since the wiring from the OEM voltage regulator to  the OEM alternator is not 
connected to the one wire new alternator,  there is no ground path for the 
GEN light to illuminate.
 
Many one wire alternators have a connector which allows the  connection of a 
GEN light and also a remote sensing of the battery voltage. The  alternator 
guys should know/have what is needed.
 
There are several companies that sell connectors/pigtales/harnesses  for just 
this type of switcover. Let me know if the alternator guys don't have  what 
you need.
 
Have fun,

Unless you add a connector and a wire to your system to  suit the one wire 
alternator, your gen light will not be on. The shop that  did the alternator 
should have the correct connector/ pig tail wire. Then  you need to add a jumper 
from the Blue/Black wire on the "I" (for indicator)  terminal of your old 
voltage regulator to the new connector/pig  tail.




Bill,

I was under the impression that when  you switch to a one-wire configuration, 
with no other modifications, the GEN  light remain illuminated all the time.  
Your solution presumably restores  the original functionality of the light.

But, if my premise is correct,  the fact that his GEN light is not 
illuminated at all under any circumstances  would indicate there is something wrong, no? 
 Even if it's just a blown  GEN light bulb?

Mike
