alternator or ignition switch

It means there's 12V at the alternator end of the warning light circuit relative to the dash/ignition circuit, likeliest cause is a short circuited diode inside the alternator.

They had the alternator to do the job at a remarkable price of $275 amazing for the pilbara where most retailers assume that you are a cashed up mine contractor,they carry everything from earth straps to led lights, alternators and Hella products, the whole deal.
The guy who served me Garry was a real nice helpful guy.
