When you're trying to track down an electrical gremlin, is it okay to have the key in the "run" position, even through the generator light is full red? I also have an external 12 volt power supply with alligator clips. Could I troubleshoot using the external power supply hooked up to the wiring harness?
I have two minor electrical issues, that I'd like to check them out. Issue #1 is no backup lights when reverse is engaged. The bulbs appear to be intact. I'd need to see if there is power coming down the line when reverse is engaged with my multimeter. It's not a huge deal to be without them. There are certainly far more important lights to have working, but my obsessive compulsive side gets annoyed that they don't work.
Second issue is the blower fan doesn't always toggle "off". It will power up in the off position, and I usually have to toggle the switch a couple of times for the blower motor to stop. When I do go to the "on" position, the blower motor works fine. I'm guessing either a dirty contact, or the switch has just worn out after almost 45 years.
