I was driving the other day and the gen light came on.. no flickering just on solid. Checked the battery terminals, measured voltage at battery when running at 14.4v No loose connections.
Does this sound like a voltage reg going wrong?

It looks like the VR is doing it's job. I would start by looking at the connections for the light at both the VR and at the instrument panel. Others should chime in with what color wires and locations for you to check.

Probs your gen brushed have worn out. try pushing on them and if the light goes out you need new brushes.
