Then you've either run in to two bad voltage regulators, or what is more likely, is that the voltage regulator is not getting excited in to functioning via the small charge through the filament of the dashboard light. Make the test changes, as per my Post #4 in this thread, and see if your system then charges properly. If it does, then the problem is the excitation feed to the voltage regulator. You can take your time on fixing that. If your dashboard light is still on after making the modifications I outlined, then you have miswired the light and that is the problem.
