I would check the excitation wire continuity to the battery lamp/ charge indicator and that the lamp is well seated in a clean socket. Is the excitation wire bolted onto the alternator or via a connector? If a connector, clean all the contacts. Did you rev the engine above 1500 RPM before checking charge voltage?
