Where is the generator light on a 1967 Ghia?
On a 12V car (1967 and on) it’s usually under the rear seat off to the left. In Ghia’s, I think the regulator is in the engine compartment and I believe that’s the same with the Bus. Anyway, check and make sure that the wires are on good and tight and not burned or damaged. Replace any wire.connector that looks bad. Battery.
What causes the generator light to come on in a Speedo?
If you suspect that the battery has a bad cell or two, you can buy a hydrometer from any FLAPS. This simple device checks the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte in each cell. A bad cell can cause the generator/alternator to overcharge the other cells which will trigger the generator light in the speedo.

Why does my Generator light glow at night?
Keep in mind that if you are running a generator, the generator light will glow dimly and is most noticable when it’s dark (ie: at night). This is common. Ever notice when sitting at idle and you have your headlight on how *dim* the lights are at times, then when you rev the engine up over 1000 RPM they glow brighter?
