Karen,

Since that bulb compares the voltage at the fuse to that at terminal 1 of
the alternator (the brown wire in the plug), I'd next check that voltage
with the ignition switch in Aux and Ign.

The 1.5 VDC at the fuse with Ign off is curious. I'd put a load (test
light) on there and check the voltage to determine whether it's a high
impedance load causing the voltage to appear.
