Battery-indicator stays on with engine off

Post by pierre_verbakel »

In a BX I acquired (Gasoline, 1990 model) the battery-indicatorlight in the dash-board clock-area stays ON. I acquired the car today with a new battery since the other was without any life in it. After switching off the battery the battery-light stayed on, an odd sight from outside with a locked car. I noticed that the guy selling me the car put in a little cable into the generator. I measured the voltage of the still working and charged new battery -> 12.2 Volts. Taking out this little cable makes the battery-indicatorlight to go OFF.
Is there some guru knowing what this means. A faulty electronics part of the generator or ....
All help is apreciated.
