1997 Ram 2500 GEN Light on. Explanation?
Hello there!
Last night went into work, came back out 5 hours later and it looks like the brake pedal stuck and left the brake light on for 5 hours which drained my battery. Battery was so dead couldnt start the truck.
I had my mother come with her car to jump the truck. I was Frustrated and made a mistake by mixing up the terminals on her car for the jumping cables. This was only connected like this for less than a minute. We could not get the truck to start what so ever.
I took the battery to auto zone this morning got it fully charged and they stated that there is absolutly nothing wrong with the battery.
I connected it back up to the truck and walahh it started.
There were no lights that came on for 5 minutes on the way home until the GEN light came on. (Only 2 mile drive home)
My volt meter inside the cab is reading 12 Volts as of right now.
Before last night ive had absolutely no problem with battery/alternator what so ever.
Will this GEN light go away after driving it awhile?
And should my Voltage meter go up to 14 after a drive it a little?
Thanks for any input what so ever!
Have a good day.
