Am getting the "Red Battery" picture on my panel for a few seconds/minute on my 2001 Winne Journey at start up. This dims, but does not go completely dark. It is called the Alternator Warning Light in operator documentation. A check of my management panel shows 13.7 to 13.9 for the engine battery during running. ??

Sometimes a blown diode (there are 6 of them) in the alternator will cause this symptom. Any good auto electric shop can check for "AC Ripple" with a scope to see if this is the case.
