It sounds like the the alternator wiring is causing the problem. I would start by checking the fuses # 9 and 28.

Here is a guide to help you test the fuse:

Here is the alternator wiring diagram below so you can see how the system works and where to test for power.

Check out the diagrams (below)

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

I am having the same issue have changed both fuses even though good to no avail.I am reading the schematic and thinking it's the idiot light since it's not working ATTM is it just a regular bulb?Been doing alot of reading some vehicles have a resistor along side the bulb somehow.I have power in the fuse box on both sides of a plate I assume is the fuse link?

Yes, if the battery light is blown the charging system will not work. If you have power on both sides of anything it is good. I would pull the cluster to check the bulb which it is a regular bulb. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
