Charge Light

My Charge light comes on while idling in gear. Have a constant >14v. Issue is regardless of lights on or off just easier to see the light at night; as is starts real dim and brightens a little but a little throttle input makes it go away.

Am I looking at need a new alternator? Prices on them now is ridiculous and local rebuilders are all an hour away from me now.
 
Double check wiring and make sure it's not just a bad connection. Have alt tested (better if you can pull it off and carry it in for testing)
 
Light should not be on at 14V. I suspect instrument cluster/printed circuit issue. Something else in the cluster is grounding through voltage light?
 
Pull the alternator connectors, inspect, then give them a shot of WD40. Plug them back in, and see what happens.
