Ignition light always on, alternator not charging

[Philip Woods]

Hi Team, I am sure that the reason the ignition light is always on is because the alternator is stuffed, however, I just wanted to check if there is a fuse in the charging system before I shell out for a new unit? If there is a fuse, where might I find it?
Thanks in advance. Phil

It's really easy to tell if the alternator is stuffed - if the battery voltage doesn't rise over 14V once you've started the car, the alternator is suspect.

Thank you, Old Tony. The voltage actually drops a little when the engine is running, so pretty sure it is stuffed.
Cheers,
Phil
