Battery Light question

[b-wiyeck at microsoft.com (William Yeckel (Lexmark International))]

I will try to dig into the exciter wire possibility.  Had the alt checked out by All Star electric, and they said it was good.

Thanks

Hello Bill,

Exciter wire disconected and the alternator is not arming itself to charge the battery. Try turning the car seeing if the light is on then reving it up to 2000 rpm....Does the battery light go off? Yes? then it maybe a brake on that wire or it maybe loose or corroded. And like always check all grounds.... Wnat about brushes on the regulator? Does anyone else know if that would do it?

HTH,
Tony

Just got the 1980 s-pack back on the road again after doing some maintenance and trying to figure out an electrical issue which I though I narrowed down to a bad battery that has been replaced. All seems fine, car starts and runs fine. But there is a weird thing going on with the battery light where it will be on for about the first 10 minutes the car is running, then it goes off.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Maybe some relay that does not kick in until it gets warm enough?

Thanks!
