New Alternator = Dash Lights on? 200 1991

Hi everyone,

'91 244 with 5 speed manual transmission here. My alternator died a week ago and I had it replaced by a local garage recommended by a family member (we were out of town at the time so I couldn't do it myself). For the past several months (before we replaced the alternator), my dash lights had been coming on at startup and staying on until I revved the engine. That problem disappeared right after the alternator was replaced, or at least for the first few times I drove the car. I just went out to move the car for street cleaning, and the lights came on and stayed on, even after revving. The dimmed out a little bit after I revved the engine for a couple of seconds, but never went completely out. Any ideas what this could be? Maybe something the mechanic didn't put back together quite right? He said something about checking all the fuses and relays--maybe one didn't get put back correctly?

Thanks
Ryan
