Was the alternator tested in the car or out?

It's still likely a bad alternator causing the light to stay on but the wiring would have to be looked at also.

Crystal ball says this is an original battery (2006) way late to replace by time alone. Bet if you looked at volts with everything on you can find electrical that they would drop out as alternator can't keep up and or battery is on its last legs stressing out the show? Gotta check all of it,

The light is controlled by the voltage regulator which is internal to the alternator. You can have a problem with the light alone and the system still charge.
