I replaced both belts when I replaced the alternator, checked tension and it's fine, replaced the negative lead and the positive looks brand new. I'll have to check the connection on the back of the alternator, this is something I have not looked at.

The regulator you are referring to isn't that built into the alternator, or rather would have been replaced when I replaced the alternator or is it elsewhere?

and i have a multimeter, so i guess the more appropriate question would be at what voltage is the light supposed to come on, ie i can test it and see if it should even be on in the first place in relation to the voltage being provided by the alt.
