Have you unplugged the harness (3 wire plug...) and checked the raw voltage output from the alternator at the battery with the engine running yet ?

Perfect I'm going to test that today the next hour. We didn't do that before we tested it with the wire harness plugged in. A 12.4 voltage and draw from the battery was tested at the battery. The reason why I replace the alternator is because I did the same thing exactly one year ago but was in a pinch so I needed to grab a used alternator from an auto wrecker. For the past 3 to 4 months to check charging system light has been going off and on but for the past two weeks has been on consistent and I've noticed a drop in voltage and charge. So I practically change the alternator before I was without a vehicle.
The check charging system light started coming on in July during the hottest week while I was at the cabin. It was Plus 27 to 30 degrees Celsius for a straight week and my vehicle was baking out in the sun. I don't know if that's correlated with the issue but I'm thinking it maybe as the new alternator has not fixed the issue.
