Alternator light never really goes out

Replaced the brush assembly on the starter for a friend. After getting the car running I noticed that the alternator light is never really going off.

I replaced the regulator and brush assembly, but it did not make any difference. I had a new rebuilt alternator I had scored at the pick and pull so I installed it. The light still remains on.

As the engine RPM's increase from idle the light dims but never goes out.

Suggestions on what might be the problem?

Thanks for any help.

Randy
