Does it buzz? If so check the choke heater fuse, otherwise check the choke relay or the alternator.

It's the "Alternator" light too. You probably need one of those.

You need an alternator. Doesn't matter whether the choke relay is buzzing or not. Get yours tested. Don't fiddle around with a bunch of esoteric "maybe it's the wobbulator overbiasing the feeblevetzer" crap.

Just take the dash face off and put black electrical tape over the little choke light window.
Problem solved and talk about simple!
If the car runs fine and is charging, why would he need an alternator?
