you need a multi meter to test the voltages of the batt. and alt. , static and when running . 12.5 V off and at least 14+ V when running

Sounds like no power going to alternator use test light to check for power should have power even with vehicle off if no power check for blown alternator fuse or fusible link wire going to alternator.
