Default Amp Light On

I just did a 3g alt swap on my car yesterday and everythings been good. I load tested it and it came out to 14.6 volts. Ive put bout 40 miles on it so far.Tonight, I left Walmart, got on it, and I noticed my amp light on. At the same time, my dome light wont come on when I open the drivers door. Itll still come on with the switch and passenger door. But I doubt the 2 issues are related. Anyway, I looked under the hood at my alt wires and everything still looked okay. Any ideas before I dig into itat work monday????
