“GEN” Dash Light On

Short answer: A “GEN” light that stays on (especially glowing dull) when the alternator and regulator test fine is often a faulty dash ground causing a ground loop through the GEN bulb. Try a temporary ground — a clip lead or wire from the back of the cluster to bare metal — and see if the light goes out.
