Default battery light glowing dimly

is my alternater shafted? A new battery was fitted, all seemed fine after putting a new engine in, then when i took her out at night i noticed that my alternater light was glowing dimly... seems to be getting worse...

did a little bit of welding, removed the ecu's but i think i forgot to disconnet the battery...

have i cooked it?

Wiring on this circuit is notorious on the cossies. I have just taken the time to completely replace mine - not that hard - there are only two wires basically.

Well worth doing!
