one of the wires to the gauges possibly. one of mine came loose and i had to solder it back on, but it killed several of the idiot lights.

Did you pull the gauge cluster out and look at the terminals on the back? I'm not a mechanic but I don't know if taping the pos and neg together is an official test. Maybe it is! It's an alternator light so it should be on when the car is not running since your alternator is not putting out. If you alternator is putting out then its probably a bad connection or the bulb burnt out.
