I was having a problem with my oil pressure gauge pegging over five with the warning light staying on with or without the engine running. Searching the archives on various sites indicated it was a bad sender even, though it was new. It was fixed by putting in a new "!" light.

Now my last problem is the alternator light does not come on with the light test or when the engine is cranking. The bulb is a good. The battery drains while the motor is running, so the alternator is not getting tripped. I am going to have the alternator tested tomorrow. What other issues could keep the light from coming on during cranking or the light test?

Bad ground wires, blown fuse for charging circut?

All the grounds are new. I have been looking around and I may need a resister in line. BTW, it is a LS swap so the alternator is not original. The wiring is the same. I still should see the alternator light when cranking.

Update: had the alternator tested, it was dead.
