Thanks Art, for your detailed reply.

You say 'start by fixing the alternator exciter' first.

So...you're thinking the exciter is not working?

How could it be illuminated if it were not finding it's ground through the alternator?

Best test for it would be to remove it from alternator, turn key to 'on' position and test voltage with a meter or test light, correct?

Not sure why you think the exciter is not working?

(I'm probably not understanding something here)
