Battery icon on dash where are you?

Having some alternator charging problems and battery light on dash came on, letting me know I was having some charging issues. Now shes gone and I'm still having charging problems. Checked bulb in cluster and is fine. No battery light on dash even when in key position 2. What's happening?

Something in the circuit has failed. The bulb being burned out will cause it not to charge, did you replace the alternator?
