Check the whole connection in the hood for the charging system.
Often the alternator warning light AND associated wiring MUST be intact to initially charge the magnetic field of the alternator.
If the light is burned out or wiring is broken the alternator will NOT start charging.
This is probably a generic fault with diesels, please check the solution I posted at the following link -

Run a wire from the big terminal on altenator direct to the + on the battery that should cure it for you ,use a 8mm cable at least ,either their is a connection problem or the wire is damaged ,also check the ally fuses by or on top of the battery ,3 of them as i remember
Sounds like you may have a bad alternator. Put a volt meter across the battery posts. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts. Then start the engine and the voltage should increase to 13.5 to 15 volts. If you do not get this increase in voltage, then the alternator is not charging, which can be either the wiring to the alternator or the alternator itself being bad. Good luck :O)
