Little Red Lights

["Dick Benjamin" <DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have puzzled over the action of the "voltage" light on the EFI cars.  It
does, as Neil says, light briefly when the car is first entered, then go
out.   All 4 of mine have done this, so I assume it is normal.  I will one
day take the time to analyze the circuit to see what they are trying to
indicate.   I do know that it will stay on if the alternator fails - that's
all I care about.
