Just to be clear, it should not be illuminated at all under these circumstances.
And a dim glow generally indicates a problem elsewhere, not with the generator
itself.
It also may not come on even when the generator is not working at all, depending
on what the fault is. Which, I believe, is why the owner's manuals don't call
it a generator light at all but rather an ignition warning light.
