If you look at the Alternator Connector there are 2 large slots the go to 2 fat red wires. Both of those have Battery Voltage all of the time.
The smaller slot has a Skinny Blue Wire; that is the Wire that goes to the No Charging Light. That wire only has voltage when the Key is on.
After that there could be a issue with the ground. If you pull your Voltage Regulator off you will see that where one of the screws goes through there is an area that grounds on the Alternator Casing. You might scrap any oxidation off of the Alternator Casing around the screw hole to make a better ground.
After that some have recommended using 1 Jumper Cable from the Negative Battery Terminal and touching the Alternator Casing/Housing so you know for sure it is well grounded to see if it charges.
