Hi russell8,
Was the alternator replaced new, used or reman? We need to check the fuse #19 under the hood and fuse #10 and #4 in the interior fuse panel. Here is the alternator wiring diagram so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what happens.
all is well the owner pulled a fuse without telling me he figured the alt was bad and had me replace it without any diagnosis

Does occur at times when we think too far ahead and forgets the basics. You are not alone, lol
Have a nice day.
