I'm sorry - it was too early this morning....
What I mean is that the indicator light stays on. The battery is fully
charged. With the car running and nothing causing a discharge, the light
stays on and the amp gauge is at 0.

I'm not sure what you refer to as "on" but it sounds as if you gauge is
working correctly. When the key is turned on, the ignition coil and any
accessories left on wil register as a discharge because power is only
provided by the battery. After the engine has started, the generator will
supply the power and any excess curent will recharge the battery and show as
a charge on the amp gauge. When the battery is sufficiently charged, the amp
gauge will be near zero.
