maybe the voltage regulator is overcharging, making the light come on when you rev the engine up. Check that, it is a free item to try.

It's internal in the alt. I had the same issue, sent it back to PA Performance,(warranty) they rebuilt it, problem solved.

Did it do this with the old battery and terminals? Doublecheck your connections and make sure theyre all tight.
