Choke Heater Relay Buzzing, Choke light illumitated brightly at all times

Hello all, I am hoping some of you can help me with a problem I'm having. I have a 1983 Daytona trans am with a T-5 and LG4 305. I had recently replaced the weak original alternator with an OE Reman unit. Not two days later, as I was cruising, the choke light came on and I heard loud buzzing noises under the dashboard. Ive read up on forums and know about the alternator diodes causing this, so I got a warranty replacement alternator and am still experiencing the same problem... two bad alternators in a row seems very unlikely to me... I'm wondering if there are any other solutions to prevent my head from spinning too much.. hoping to find help soon!!
