choke light still on

ok my choke light has been on for about a week now. I checked the choke heater fuse and it is completely fine. I just replaced the choke relay today and that didn't solve the problem either. I also had the alternator replaced last week. Can someone help me out?

Are you getting a buzzing noise along with the light?

Re: choke light still on

I've read before that it could also mean a failing alternator, or a bad diode in the alt...
