Default 1981 club wagon 5.8 charging but battery light on

Have this club wagon... 1981 its charging 14.6 volts... but the battery light is on....
i know the green wire with red strip from the i terminal on the regualtor goes to the bulb then to the ignition switch but i only have 3 volts on the i terminal instead of battery voltage... just changed the alternator out to a new one... could the wires mixed up? Or has the circuit grounded somewere? Any help would be very appriciated
