If it has an external regulator. The orange wire comes out of the alternator, then is spiced-"T"- into another wire which still should be orange going to the regulator plug, and the other wire coming from the "T" should be an orange wire with a tracer that goes to the "no charge" light on the dash. The other wire coming from the light goes to the ignition switch.

Some vehicles have an external voltage regulator which also controls the warning lamp circuit, some vehicles have a warning lamp relay and others may operate through a computor, all of which require a signal from the alternator. You either have a faulty regulator/relay/computor, A broken signal wire from alternator, alternator is incorrectly wired or a faulty/incorrect type of alternator
