One of the reasons you go to Autohausaz.com is NOT because you are buying anything, but because you want to look at their pictures of the part. For instance, here is a voltage regulator which sits on the back end of the alternator:

Is this the "voltage regulator" I've been reading about?

And would this have anything to do with the light that stays on? Or am I looking at two possible causes?

Thanks, Bogy!

It goes through a diode but those can fail and start draining your battery. There is a plug on the alternator that is a pain to get from above but is easy from below. It has a clip on it you will need to deal with. Go easy with it. If the light goes out then it's the alternator. This is the best test I can think of for proving the alternator is the cause.
