Charging light wont come on with ignition switch on
Just replaced alternator on 92 accord(2nd time in 3 months) The system is charging. however the charging light doesnt come on when you turn the ignition on. Nothing happens when I disconnect thr electrical connection. If i take the battery cable of the alternator it does come. There does not appear to be any blown fuses. Thanks!

Mine does the same. It was the beginning of this year that my charging system didn't work and the indicator light didn't come on either to let me know. So I'm clueless, but the indicator light does come on when I have the key on engine off.

Unplug C126 4-pin connector at the alternator. Get a jumper wire, jump the white/blue wire to ground. Turn the ignition switch to "on". If the charge light is on, the problem is in the alternator/voltage regulator. If the light is off, you most likely have a blown dash bulb or an open in the white/blue wire from the cluster to the alternator.
