Hello everyone.
1979 PA28-181 ARCHER II
I was doing my run up today and found that on the annunciator panel check, the "alt" light didn't light up when I pushed the "test" button. I assume that it is the bulb that went dead.
I don't have an ammeter and for some reason that I still don't know, my master switch is one with the alt switch. The same. I have a cigarette lighter USB adaptar that reads out the voltage and it always shows 14.2, engine ON, that means it is charging, so I wouldn't be concern about getting that information.
I was looking online to see if I can find the part to replace the burnt light, supposed to be "67422-14" but I can't find anything online, only some used entire "annunciator panel" part "79333-00" which is very expensive $250+.
My question is.... Is it required to have that light operational for flight? Does anybody know where can I get this part, just the "alt" light, or do I have to replace the entire annunciator panel? Do I require to have the annunciator panel?
Thank you everyone for your responses.
