Ignition warning light on all times?

Grubby,

That's interesting. I'll have to put your experience in my mental database. The only explanation that I can think of is that one (bad) diode bridge in the alternator was triggering the light.

The problem in my ERA (light on while running and not charging) was a bad fuse (fused link). Replaced it and it was fine. Check the simple stuff first.

I have the opposite situation. The red charge light never comes on. Not sure when it started, never took notice of it until somebodyelse pointed out that it didn't come on when I turned the key to the on position. I replaced the ignition switch recently is it possible that I reversed a couple of wires? Never had one of these bulbs burn out before but I suppose I should check that sometime.

The FIA is wired differently from the late 427. There is no charging warning light. If you have a drop-dash, the red light is a dummy. (and I'm not that bright either )
