Is the battery light going out when started ? or is it staying on or is it not coming on at all ?

hi when i went to fire the car back up and there was nothing am sure the oil light was the only light on the dash

There is your problem the battery light needs to light up and go out to be charging there is a little blue wire on the alternator trace that back along the loom and make sure its connected to the alternator
