I learned something. Slowly, electrical become a little less strange to me. I have a text I am actually reading on Marine Electrical systems...Should have done that years ago..

Here's a silly question: When I start my Van (inline 4 motor, same alternator as a Vanagon, if that makes a difference) the alternator light comes on, as it should. It stays on until I rev the engine once, then it goes off and stays off. Why? Just curious..it works fine, just strikes me as odd the light will be off at the same RPM once you rev it and let it drop back down. Don Hanson
