"tapped off one of the screws holding the rectifier in place"

On a much older car, I had a lousy connection to the regulator through its ground at the mounting screw. The symptom was no charging, but no warning lamp, and yes, lamp test worked. Caused it myself, by the way -- just turned the screw in another 1/2 turn.
