Alternator (battery) light sleuthing suggestions?

'88 900T. New (rebuilt) alternator and voltage regulator and yes, a good ground to the alt. I get no light when ignition switch is on (nor voltage from the small terminal with grn/wht wire). Get a strong 14 volts from both terminals on alt. with engine running. The 2 watt lamp glows when hooked to a 12v source. No voltage between foil terminals at lamp socket with key in on position. I must be getting some kind of intermitant charge to the battery because it hasn't failed me in the week that I've noticed the lamp problem. Where the hell do I start to look for a problem? 1 odd but perhaps related thing (doubt it) is that ever since I swapped trannies, I have not been able to get my key to the full lock position. That doesn't mean that there's power to everything all the time, it just means whoever wants my car can start it with a screwdriver. Will probably disassemble the lock/ignition switch this weekend but where else should I be looking for a problem? I've got the wiring diagram from Bentley but JEEZ!
