might be the bulb behind the dash --undo the dash to get to it

or a problem with the regulator check its charge with a volt meter across the + and - poles when running

To clarify on that last advice put the voltmeter on the battery posts not the alternator itself; when charging with engine running it should read close to 14 volts.
