Did you do any more follow up to what I suggested in your other same topic thread from back in November? https://camaroforums.com/forum/82-92...e-light-79464/
I missed your last question there, but yes it could be the alternator, or a related wiring issue, or the battery.

That means your alternator isn't putting out, or power from the alternator isn't making it to the battery. Do you have a volt meter? They're cheap to buy, and free with the right coupon at Harbor Freight. With engine running, check the power output at the alternator, you should have 14+ volts there. If you do, check power at the battery to see what voltage is or isn't coming in.
Btw, yanking the positive battery terminal was a good and easy way to check on old school cars, but on modern cars that have a lot of electronic controls or devices, doing that can cause a voltage spike without the battery connected to act like a buffer.
