Hi guys
For no apparent reason I got the following warning lights staying on with the engine running ...
Sub Tank.. Sub tank transfer switch is still working OK
break warning... Brake lights are OK and fluid level is correct
A/T temp... Fluid level OK and definitely not hot

Battery light... tested battery, 12v with no engine running, 11v with Engine running and no change when revving
Belt OK. Looking like it might be the alternator. but why are the other lights still on. Thinks!! maybe I have answered my own question, If the alternator is faulty maybe the other warning lights stay on

Any help (sticky) would be appreciated.

That combo of lights is the classic symptom of a shagged Alternator or sense wiring as you have already determined.

Yes they come on and stay on when the Alternator has no output
