Testing procedure is flawed.
A test light won't show any small electrical usage.
You need to put a small test meter in the same location and set it to read milliamps.
With everything shut down, you WILL see the meter give something above the usage by the clock (50 ma or so). Now, with the meter in position, you attempt to find the consumer by removing one fuse at a time. If nothing is produced by doing so, you remove the wires from the alternator. If that fixes the problem, the leakage is internal to the alternator.
