<VV> GEN/FAN light is glowing

[J R Read_HML]

OK - alternator.  Internal (non - stock style ) or separate - external - on 
the fire wall (stock style) regulator?  If stock, take the cover off the 
regulator and gently clean the points - also check the connections for 
possible corrosion.  If that solves it, good.  If not. let us know.  I had 
at least one instance where water got into the stock regulator and the only 
answer was to replace it.

Also - with an alternator, you must REV (say one punch on the skinny pedal) 
the engine to "excite" the alternator and the light goes out then.
