I always assumed that the factory reservoir was on the drivers side looking at where the hose for the nozzles goes, like yourself my ke20 didn't have a washer reservoir either so I don't know this for a fact.
I'm pretty sure there was a few spare plugs floating around near the drivers side headlight.
If you also have some spare plugs in that location (or others) whack your multimeter across the terminals of each plug and have a mate squirt the washers... if you see battery voltage across the terminals when your mate pushes the button you know you have the right plug.
Your charge light should come on if the battery voltage falls much below 12V.
My KE20 (now Toyrota's) had the alternator wired up without a regulator when I got it and the voltage sometimes went up to 15V+ and the charge light would not come on.
Probably due to not having a regulator the alternator eventually died and the charge light was coming on... so the charge light was wired up.
This leads me to believe that the KE20's (or 3TGTE) charge light does not come on under overvoltage conditions.
To test your alternator just chuck a multimeter on across the battery terminals when the car is running and see what voltage is present.
If the voltage is <12V your alternator (or regulator) is stuffed.
If the voltage is much over 14.5V your regulator is stuffed.
If the brushes are on the way out you will usually see very low 12V at idle rising to 13-14 at about 2500RPM
