[DML] Alternator light - new cars

["daviddelorean" <daviddelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

On the DMC and all other cars I understand that the alternator warning 
light bulb acts as a load exciting in the circuit to spark the 
alternator into generating power.

I test drove a new Chrystler 300 today and noticed that all the warning 
lights, including the alt light, went off at the same time. The alt 
light didn't stay on when I had the acc mode turned on either.  Have 
newer cars gone to a computerized/digital warning instead of the laws 
of electricty warning type of system?
