Does alt/bat light show with key on? If yes check under hood fuse box for bad fuse/connections.

And check for bad ground connections. Make sure alternator is sufficiently grounded.

Check the continuity between the main alternator wire and battery. Use a voltmeter to test the charging voltage at battery main terminal and body. If voltage is 13.5 to 14.5 volts and voltage between battery terminals is battery voltage, there is a break in the wire. Check the ALT fuse.
