Hi the battery light came on the other day although the volts were fine (lights on too) and that was confirmed with a voltmeter on the battery terminals. Alternator swapped and the same results.
Why does my battery light glow with 12V?
In other words it has 12v sitting behind it…..so when there is nothing on the field coils of the alt it will glow, as the Alt starts to turn the volt will increase and reduce the glow. Once alt is at normal speed it will also show 12v So…with 12v both sides of the bulb there will be no current flow and bulb will not glow.
Can a hairline crack cause intermittent Battery Light?

How does an IDJIT light work with an alternator?
The idjit light essentially goes from the alternator output to the battery positive. If all goes well, both terminals are at the same voltage potential and no current flows. If either the battery or alternator are not at the same level, there will be current flow through the light and it will illuminate.
