When my alternator failed I ordered a Valeo replacement from Pelican. The alt light glowing while the car is running indicates to me that one of your diodes may have failed. This causes the other two to work overtime to compensate for the reverse current flow from the bad one, putting greater load and more heat through the alternator. Also explains why you never get over 14 volts while charging.
