Hi!
For some days I have been having the battery light on the dashboard staying on, dimmed (not fully on, like when you just turn on the dashboard and not the engine). It may turn off, or may stay on, while driving. I checked with a voltmeter for voltage on the battery when the light is in this condition and, in idle, voltage is around 14 V, while it raises to 15 V and more under acceleration (checked with the car stopped by pulling the accelerator linkage on the carburettor).
Can this be a failing alternator or something else? I suspect the alternator should work if the voltage is that high, but who knows... Thanks!
