Battery light on after car is shut down 200

Pull out your voltmeter and your Bentley manual and check voltages on the alternator terminals. When this happened to me recently (on a friends 1988 245), the alternator had a bad diode (causing the small red wire to carry 17+ volts) AND the ground wire was of dubious integrity.
