If you have a camper, the refrigerator relay will also turn the light on
with the alternator disconnected. The alternator has to actually be
charging for the relay to energize the refrigerator.

Subject: Alt idiot light on

Known good 65a alternator.  Problem is that the circuit from the idiot
light is grounded somewhere. (Key on, light on.  Unplug alt, key on,
light on.  Bentley says grounded circuit.)  Anyone have any good ideas
where might be a good place to start looking?
