battery dash light stays while engine is running (300SD)

On my 1983 300SD the battery dash light stays on while I am driving but goes out when the engine is turned off. The brake sensor and emergency brake lights stay on with it at first then go out while the battery light stays on while I am driving. I checked the v-belts and they are tight. Car starts ok and the battery seems to be charging.The following parts have been replaced:

New alternator/voltage regulator is 3 months old.
Starter/solenoid is 2 years old.
$100 battery is 1 year old.
All of the glow plugs are 2 years old.

Could this be a relay, wire or fuse problem? I did a search on this forum but could not find an exact match to my situation.

Thanks for the help!
