The battery light should come on and if not, your issue might be soemthing as simple as a burned out charge (battery) bulb.

Put a different voltage regulator on it from another alternator I had laying around and it made no difference. Either both were bad(the replacement regulator had longer brushes) or something else is my problem. I guess I will probably just have to swap out the whole alternator. I did notice however that when the key is turned on, and before the engine is started, the only lights that come on in the cluster is the o2 light and the SRS light. None of the others, oil level, coolant level, battery etc come on. Im not sure exactly what the deal is with that. If the alternator was bad would it cause these lights to not come on? Or is there some other problem that doesnt allow the lights to come on and also keeps alternator from charging? Seems I heard somewhere that if the battery light does not come on either because its burned out or whatever the alternator will not charge. Thanks -- Kaleb C.
