<VV> no gen light

[PatioMatt at aol.com]

We don't know the model of your Alt.    some want straight  from switch 12 
volts on #1  and the idiot light on #2
 
others.. # 2 is the voltage sensing...

Allright  I did some checking and I have one wire that is 12 volts to ground 
and also to  other wire at light when the ignition is on.  This should mean 
that the  bulb should light up when put in.  Even though the bulb tested good  
(ohmed out) I went ahead and put in a known good one, still did not light  up!  
Cleaned contacts and still no light.  What am I missing?
The  hot wire is the 20ga Tan (pg 8-40 fig 8-69 of 61 shop).  This is hooked  
to the ign switch according to diagram.  The other wire (20ga Brown) goes  to 
the "A" terminal on the gen (which is now the #1 on the Alt.
