Last week my battery light came on and I went and had alternator tested and bought a new battery (old one was 6 years old). This morning the battery light came on again. Took back for alternator to be re-tested and it was ok. Took to another Battery Specialist and he also said the alternator OK. Light doesn't stay on all of the time.

it sounds like you need a new alternater. to be sure, most autoparts stores will check it for free, but you'll have to take it off yourself.
SOURCE: New battery & new alternator, still not charging...
Take it to another auto parts store to test to verify.
If you put a voltmeter on the battery when the T+C was running, it should read 14-15V.
It could have a bad diode. If this is the case the alt. will be pumping out AC instead of DC. This is BAD. Batteries do not like this and the battery will fail because of it.
Be careful in those 'auto parts stores'. I have found that they employ alot of 'kids' who know little about how a car works. Try NAPA. They are much more knowledgeable and professional. But they cost alittle more.

red hot wire to battery make sure the black connector is in socket properly let me know how it goes Lee

ABS is Advanced Brake Systems, but that light should flash once when the car is turned on to signal it works.
If you turn the key in the ignition forward, like you are going to turn it on, but not far enough to turn the engine over, that light should be on at a constant. with it turning itself off upon starting.
If you have a no start issue, it would have the same effect. But if it is a no start, it's not going to be a dead battery, the battery puts out enough charge to turn the engine over (on), and the alternator runs everything.
Alternators run off the belt(s) on the engine and need exact tension, in order to produce the proper amount of power.

No. The regulator is built into the alternator. The battery might be going bad. Have it checked at a local AutoZone or Advance. Also make sure you have clean terminals (posts AND clamps) and a good connection to the body on the negative terminal.

Check for a drain remove the positive side battery connect a test light clamp end to the battery wire and the pointed end to battery post light will be on. Pull one fuse at a time. When test light :light goes out that is the circuit draining the battery
