IF you have continuity in the harness proceed to remove your speedometer and check the alternator light pin in the speedometer and check continuity to the M116 connector.

If your issue is in the dash harness you should see your volt gauge display regular charging voltages. If your volt gauge reads low and you dont your light is not working then it's possible the alternator regulator burnt up not triggering the light and not charging as well.
DUDE OMG. THE M116 CONNECTOR WASNT EVEN CONNECTED. Right now that I went to go check the connection the little lever that's supposed to hold in in place was open and the connector was sticking out halfway. The problem with the charging started when i drove through some curves hard and the lever was probably bad and caused disconnected with the cars leaning. Thank you man
