yes it is new alternator. second one. im wondering if there is a relay or something that controls that signal from the cluster. not sure here. im lost on this one. im usually pretty good with electrical but this one makes no sense to me. according to the schematic there is a fuse but doesnt show a relay. the fuse is good. the battery light only comes on when the voltage drops to 1.6v. when it has the 12v the light is off.
