[FC] Gen/Fan Blinker

[J R Read_HML]

Is the belt running upside down part of the time?  Check the alignment of 
all "pulleys".  The balancer could be disintegrating, the idler pulley or 
the generator could have a failing(ed) bearing, the fan bearing could be 
"walking" out of the top cover, OR it might be something else.  There, was 
that helpful?

Later, JR

Hello-

Wednesday when driving to work my Gen/Fan indicator light came on briefly, 
then went off...then came on again a few hundred feet later, then off, and 
so forth. This happened about five times total. I was driving 55 MPH.

I had the alternator checked...all is well, and all is charging. Could my 
belt be too loose and hence the intermittent indicator light activity when 
it deflects and loosens around the alternator pulley? It is just a bit 
looser than I usually run it, and could stand to be adjusted. The reason I 
ask if this simple explanation could possibly be correct is because this has 
never happened to me in fourteen years of FC ownership...

Your thoughts?

Ben
