Did you check your grounds yet? If those are okay it's time to check the charging control circuit and determine if there is a computer issue.

Which pulley or pulleys did you replace and did you only replace the pulley(s)? If you replaced the tensioner pulley and not the tensioner itself, that's possibly the issue. I would recommend checking that the belt tensioner is providing the proper tension based on the marks on the front of the assembly. Refer to step 3(d).

I'd simply check the voltage first. Especially the voltage between the B terminal and the body of the alternator. Then the voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage supply begins from the B terminal, you know.
