Hi, I just fired up the old bird. We wanted to go to the beach on sunday and she had been sitting for a few weeks, usually I fire her up beforehand to eliminate any starting issues.

But: The gen light stayed on!

I've had that happen on the last long trip as wel when I took the highway exit, but with some revving the light went out, but I did hear something clicking sharp, under the hood for a short time. After that I drove a short trip a few days later with no troubles.

I checked the volts on the battery, that was with engine running 12,4 volts (battery should be partially drained due to sitting in cold weather).

Questions:

Are there any other checks I can perform?
Is this a sure sign of my regulator goiing bad (it's the original one, had it tested during the restoration in 2005 something and it was good)?
Should I also suspect the generator?

Imput is appreciated (ps I hate car electricity)
FYI, it's the original64, charging system, generator and voltage regulator, nothing was modified.
