Alternator Light

What could cause the alternator light to fail to illuminate in a Raven II?

When the mixture is pulled and the engine stops turning, the ALT light doesn't immediately illuminate. It takes at least 10 or 20 seconds for the light to come on. When the alternator switch is toggled "OFF", the light immediately turns on, however when toggled back "ON" within 10 or 20 seconds of engine shutdown, the light actually turns off again even though the engine isn't turning.

What is going on there? Maybe a loose ground connection somewhere?
