Default 2003 Dodge Neon Sxt Battery Light (SO MUCH HELP NEEDED)

So my battery light came on and then my other lights started coming on and then my lights and dashboard started dimming and then my radio went out and the car died. I Bought a brand new battery, alternator, fuses, and did a oil change on the car. Replaced the Radio fuse because it blew and cleaned off my battery cables/terminals etc... Now my battery light is back on, I have no clue why my light is still on and I do not want to risk driving it around to see if it gets worse. What could this be from?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The field coil circuit is how the PCM controls the regulated output. You apparently have a problem there. It's just 2 wires from alternator. Green goes to C2 connector Pin 19 of the PCM. Black goes to ground.

Yeah when you mentioned it I went out and took a look and sure enough it was disconnected so I striped it and got a new little eyelid thing that clamps on the wire and screwed it back in and now no battery light!! Thanks A lot man!!

Where was it off at? Field Coil ckt is the most overlooked thing related to charging systems nowadays.
