My alternator light doesn't come on when the key is turned on but does come on when the engine starts.
Voltages at the alternator are
Batt 15.2V
Field 15.4V
Sense 14.11V

So it's charging but the light is on.
I don't have an APC yet.
It just started doing this part way through our maiden voyage with the coach a couple weeks ago and I want to get it sorted before we take it out again.

any ideas what could be doing this?

Thanks

EDIT: I just ran to radio shack for a diode and installed the diode in lew of the APC, quicker this way. no change.
