Subject:      Question about battery light
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I have a customers 86 Westy that has an instrument cluster from a later model installed. I have been trying to troubleshoot the battery light staying on and I am bumping my head against a brick wall. The cluster seems to be seeing around 13.5volts when the van is running and all of the other lights, etc. on the cluster seem to be working fine. Yet the battery light won't go out.

I think originally this van used to have the oxy light and box, but the box is no longer there and the newer instrument cluster doesn't have the oxy light in it. I guess what I need to know is exactly what the light is looking for as an input to turn the light out. I have never been completely clear as to exactly what I should be seeing from the blue wire that goes to the alternator since this is also the wire that is controlling the light. Should I see a voltage from this wire? Is it a ground instead? If someone could explain what this blue wire does that would help me out a lot.
