Maybe the light has been taken out?
Bad battery cell in the battery? Take your battery to an autozone and have it tested. Everytime I have had an alternator go bad I have to replace both the alternator and the battery. Usually the alternator would kill a cell in my battery and it would need replaced.. First make sure you have plenty of water in the battery before taking it in to get tested though.
