Anybody else have something like this happen?  I can't tell which fuse
it's on or I'd have replaced it -- they look OK, but we all know what
that means!

All the light tells you is that the alternator is drawing field
current from the battery.  Nothing else.  It shouldn't, of course.
Think of it as a 'check charging system' light.  It is _best_ at
detecting a belt problem, and it _can_ detect a problem or two
with the alternator.  But there's a whole lot of common problems
that it can't detect.  Oh, and there's no fuse involved.

A few minutes with a voltmeter and tools will narrow the problem
down considerably.  First you need to measure the battery voltage
both idling and revved up a bit.
