Hope you checked when light was on. If you have 12 volts engine off (normal) and 14 volts engine on (normal) at least you know battery is being charged like it suppose to you won't be left dead in the water. I think it's in the alternator itself because the alternator is what turns on the light I think it's got a bad diode inside the alternator which is turning on the light.
