Your "gen" light can be on for a number of reasons.
firstly you will have to tell us what make and model car you are referring to, some cars have different wiring so having the gen light could mean any number of things. eg: a blown fuse. Be a little more specific. Also look to see if the gen light is on when you turn the key on but not with the engine going.
good luck
