With a test light (or meter) you should be able to verify the
presence of voltage at the field winding when the key is on (but
the engine not running).  If no voltage is present, then
something with the dash light has failed.

On a W123, the alternator has three wires connecting.  Two big
ones and one small blue one.  The blue, or blue-white is the one
coming from the dash light.

Don't know what might be different on yours.
