Over the weekend I replaced the bulb in the charge indicator light and
converted to the three prong later MGB connector to fit my alternator.
Everything is well, and I get 14 volts above 1k rmp, except that I get a
dim glow in the charge light. During the day I can't see it, but at night
is it definately noticable as it is just a bit dimmer than the high beam
light. Could this be showing that my battery is almost dead? I think it
is about 12 years old and I don't entirely trust it, lately. I know it
suggests my alternator, but as stated I show 14 volts on my voltmeter when
driving.
