Noticed yesterday that my ignition light is staying on after starting. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Normally only comes on while starting or when the revs are really low after first starting. Give it a few revs and usually goes out. Not this time!

Looking at the wiring diagrams it "could" be related to the alternator or control box.

Ideas? Cheers.
