Reply to "The Alternator light"

I've never actually had an idiot light burn out in ANYTHING. This problem came out of a loose connection between the light and holder.  While being intimately involved with replacing the alternator; every time I turned on the ignition an idiot light (wonder they call them that) came on, but it was the oil light! I wasn't paying attention to the color; just the light.

I've been repairing mechanical things all my life; well for 55 years anyway. If it's on a car, motorcycle or personal airplane, I've touched it. I'd bet that average self taught, but highly skilled, mechanic is unaware that the idiot light out would not allow the alternator to work. I sure wish I had known that.
