Alternator / Warning Lamp

On my 77 Midget, the alternator is not charging.  The warning lamp also is
not working.  From what I understand, 12V should go through the warning
lamp to the brown/yellow wire on the alternator.  Is this correct?  

The lamp is not working, but I am getting 12V at the brown/yellow at the
alternator.

Does this mean the alternator is bad?

Also how do I remove the warning lamp from the dash of a 77 Midget
without breaking it?

Thanks,
