Check the 3 wire connecter on the back of the alternator and make sure the wires going into it aren't broken.
This happened to me, it was over charging at like 16-17v's so i got a alternator from a wreckers thinking it was the voltage regulator inside the alternator, but when i was taking it out of the car i noticed the red wire on that harness was broken. So i got a new harness from ford ($40 :( ) and spliced it in and that fixed the problem....
you can check this at home as you should be able to reach the plug from the top of the car like i did .. just give each wire a light tug and see if any are loose or borken
