Ok, this has me nervous now.  My battery light on the dash is on a bit most
of the time.  Well, not all the time.  I start the van (never any problem
charging) and the light is off but as soon as i rev the engine it comes on
and fades in and out--corresponding to engine speed, fast engine=fast fade
in and out, slow engine=slow light. Anyway, I've always suspected the
voltage regulator but never knew this could result form me just learning to
"live with it."  Please inform me on what to do!
