The lamp is on when the master and the alt switches are on and the alt is
not charging the battery. It is on until the engine starts and begins
charging then it goes off.

Thanks Bill.

"Charge indicator"... so the lamp will be illuminated ("L" looks like a 
ground) under normal conditions?  Has anyone wired this lamp as shown to 
verify that it's on... all the time?  (how annoying would that be, eh?!)

If not, is anyone willing to measure the voltage between "L" and ground 
the next time their prop is turning?

Thanks,

D
