Default Trail Boss 250 not charging

Hey guys,

Need some advice to start digging into. Hooked a multimeter up at the battery since it has gone dead after using the lights. I charged the battery then hooked the multimeter back up. WIth engine off, I was getting 12.6 volts. With engine running I was getting 12.45 volts. I took the fuel tank plastic off the left side to access the wiring panel and hit the alternator output blocks and both were registering anywhere between 2 and 3 volts but no charge at the battery. Any ideas?
