If it is not charging then the idiot light will be on provided that it is not blown.
It does not sound like you have tested anything with a volt meter. If you have, please post your results in volts, not opinions.
Turn the ignition on, does the idiot light glow?
Start the car & rev to about 1000rpm, has the idiot light gone out?
With no accessories (lights, fans etc) turned on.
With the car turned off what is the battery voltage?
With the motor running at about 1000rpm what is the battery voltage?
With the motor running at 3000rpm what is the voltage?
At 2000rpm with as many things turned on as you can, what is the voltage?
Does your car have a WVO system fitted ?
Answer the above questions with numbers or yes/no & the problem can be diagnosed properly.
