Hmm... "semi circle on an angle with a vertical line going through it"? The parking brake/brake system failure lights are semicircular, red, at an angle, and on the dash... Could the lettering have gotten screwed up (making it look like a vertical line)?
The alternator light isn't semi circular...
Probably need a bit more information. Where is this light in relation to the tachometer? Is in IN the tachometer, or to the lower right of it?

If that light is on while driving
your friend could have a problem w/ alternator
/voltage regulator. It should only be on for a few seconds after start up. Have him get it checked out. |

On my 77, red, circular light to the lower right of the tach is the alternator light. Comes on when power is being drawn from the battery. |
