Hey Guys,
After putting my thing back together the Alternator light is on but the alternator is working. I must have some wires crossed. Any ideas why the light would be on if the alternator is working.
Thanks,
Jeff

It's a ground sensing light. So either the wire has been grounded somewhere, or the diodes failed in the alternator.

| It will not charge if the idiot light is on. Check the ground or maybe even run another ground from the alternator scew to see if that is the problem. |
