charge warning/ charging problems? 200 1990

The battery on my 240 sedan, auto 1990 died while driving. The car stopped and there was not enough juice to get it started. It started with a jump. The alternator belts and battery terminals are tight and clean. The battery and charging system checked out fine about a month ago, The alternator is original; the voltage regulator is about 6 years old; the battery is 2 years old.

I did not see the charge warning light illuminate with the jumper cables still connected to the 2nd car. The ignition on the Volvo was on but I intentionally did not have the engine running. Other lights like the check engine were illuminated.

Is this a fuse problem or do I need to replace the lamp in the warning light. If the latter, what bulb is needed and can I get it at the local auto supply?

Thanks in advance.
