A 1990-1991 Diesel has a external voltage regulator at center of dash panel-Since yours is a 1993 it has a computer controlled field generation of the alternator which is built in the computer you might want to have this checked out.

Have the alternator and battery load tested if it passes there's no other option except the dealer or an electrical shop specializing in auto
