WELCOME TO FTE!!! The GPR is located (when standing on the front bumper) to the left of the fuel filter housing. The GPR stays on a lot longer than the light. It normally stays on for 2 minutes. I would turn the ignition "ON" and watch the battery/charge" gauge and see if it drops after 2 minutes. If it does then crank it up. If it doesn't it could be the GPR. Some one else will give you a more detailed approach on the troubleshooting.
Let us know how it goes!
