Alternator not charging, Battery light is not on???

Car died the other night from a dead battery.
Alternator is not charging, voltage is batery voltage (12.4 volts)
Checked at the output terminal at the alternator (the big wire) and that is battery voltage (12.4)
checked the voltage at the small tab, that also is 12.4 volts.
I replaced the alternator with a spare (I should have tested it first, but did not) and the same condition persists.
I'm taking the original alternator to be tested now, and will post results in a few minutes.
I'm perplexed because the alternator warning light has not gone on, and it works...
I have grounded the alternator casing with a jumper cable, no change in output. Also bypassed the output cable with a jumper, no change.
Ideas?
Thanks!
