I presume you're talking about your charge light? Somehow you've buggered your charge circuit, so the engine is running off your battery rather than the alternator.

If your charge light is on I'd guess the circuit to your voltage regulator is OK, but the regulator isn't regulating the alternator properly. If you have an alternator with in-built regulator I don't know how you buggered it. If your regulator is a separate unit you probably reconnected it wrong, or the regulator is no longer earthed properly?

Or I'm completely wrong. :D

Good luck,

Scott
