Default Charging light

My Battery / Charging light just started to come on real dim but the Volt Meter in the dash is giving me a reading of just over 13 volts . Is this something to get worried about . Battery seems to have a full charge and starts the car just fine . This just started happening .
:cry

Check the triple diode pack. There is a detailed ohm meter check for them in any older gm or other manual. Probably one segment is gone. Check the brushes while you are in there.
