Andy - Welcome to WFM! That's too many volts (17.7). But you need to check the stator to make sure it's not the root problem. The TDC contains a portion of the circuit that controls the battery light, so that may be involved in the problem.

I've posted numerous times here, on how to check the stator. Since you know how to search the site, go ahead and search for "stator" and read how to check the stator. Follow the procedure and post back. I would also suggest you see if you can borrow a second multi-meter and run the same checks with two meters, just to be sure the results you are getting are accurate. - Dave
 
Andy - To check continuity is the same as checking ohms. All your numbers look good, except the voltage regulator output voltage. The battery light comes on at 12.3 volts and goes off at 12.7 volts. Looks like a new voltage regulator is in order. - Dave
