[QUOTE="Clarkson46, post: 69225, member: 3597"] As a simple check, disconnect the blue wire from the alternator and earth it somewhere, now switch the ignition on. Does the gen light still go on and off? If so, then you have a problem with the wiring to the gen light. The gen light is used to provide a 12 volt source to "energise" the alternator, so if your gen light fails for any reason the alternator will stop charging. From the description it may be the regulator that is at fault which, depending on the alternator can be replaced separately. [/QUOTE]
