try earthing the alt to the block, presuming the block is earthed ok

[vinny]

find the earth that runs from the back of the alternator that runs along the front panel and disconect and earth it out on the body to see if it goes out.

It's normally a fautly diode inside the alternater that does this . Don't take the bulb out the dash cos the battery won't charge .
