Briefly the Alternator light will come on momentarily when revving the engine when first starting. I believe I've had this alternator out and replaced the brushes last year. But recently I've been noticing that the alternator light will start to light or glow briefly when I rev the engine on starting. Now the original incandescent alternator light was replaced with a LED last year as well. And I know the light serves to provide initial excitation for the alternator and wondered if this might be part of the problem. The LED of course doesn't provide as much amperage as an incandescent bulb and this is the rationale for revving the engine when first starting. Any suggestions or thoughts on what to look at?
