I'm still going with regulator issues. Mine went for approx 2 years with intermittent problems. It would come on when atmospheric conditions generated moist air, ie rain, fog, high humidity. Dry air conditions the light would go out, only to return again when the air got damp.

oooh my,....
Is thee any way to check if it is an alternator which is bad or something else ?
of course without installing a new one

Checking the voltage is meaningless in this case. Simply when it is not charging I get 0V and when he light goes off a get 13+V
I wonder how this problem could be possibly related to the battery going bad ? If this is rally a possibility then I can reconnect my boat battery (almost new) and see what happens, but
I'd like to know if it is worth the try ? Not sure if this is related but the charig problem returned right after I washed the car.

still do no know if connecting computer tester to the outlet on the left under the dashboard will show anything or give any clue ?

Where are you taking measurements? You should never see zero volts.
