Okay, been having a charging problem for awhile now. Started replacing and checking over everything. So far I've replaced the voltage regulator, relay board and now finally replaced the alternator and harness. Guess what??? No freaking charge to the battery.

Go to the altrenator, look for the wires coming out and check there.....brown is ground, The fat red wire is the one going to the starter, the last one is the D+.
Once again...the bulb HAS to come on when the ignition is first turned on. If it doesn't and the bulb is tested as good....then the D+ circuit is Fouchedup someplace. |

My light comes on as soon as I turn the key. Didn't drive the car yesterday (TOO FREAKING HOT HERE) but everything was working Sunday...

If it went away by itself, then there's a 99% chance you have a flaky connector somewhere. It's dirty or corroded, or not crimped onto the wire fully. Alternatively, since it sounded like you had a short somewhere, you may have some wire that's abraded away the insulation, and is intermittently rubbing on the body somewhere. Look for all the places the harnesses go through a panel and make sure the grommets are all there and in good shape.
