[C320-list] Indicators on Steering Pedestal Instruments Panel ('94 Cat 320)

[Allan S. Field]

Our C320 was number 808 with a Yanmar 3GM30F so not sure my notes would apply here.

I forget what I connected it to... I think the external regulator. The red LED is for low oil pressure. Both oil pressure and high coolant temp will sound the single alarm. > > My advice is not to rely on what any other owner has to say about the matter as there may not have been a lot in common between how different hulls were wired. The greater the time between hulls, the more differences there are likely to be. Trace the wiring yourself and document it.

The white light comes on when I turn my key on (and stays on while I allow my glo plugs to warm), then turns off (usually) when the engine starts. The white lamp stayed lit dimly once recently until I increased the engine rpms, then went out.  Is this lamp an indicator that charging (from the alternator) is occurring (indicated by the lamp going out?)? > > The indicator with the red lens is for low oil pressure.....correct? > > I don't seem to have alarms (temp and oil pressure) that sound when the key is turned on and/or when there is a problem.
