help. Battery light!!!!

[cchase]

I had just replaced my alt. due to the battery light flashing, but going away when accelerating, but now the light has came back and is on all the time. the batterys are charged and putting out the correct volts, and it has a new alternator? what can it be????// Thanks!

Same problem here.... Got a new alt., the old one was off and on, either 12 or 14 volts.... then I put new batteries in for the winter..... I havent charged them on a charger yet tho.... Bump for ya.

If our alts are the same, check the pigtail connection beside the main connector. Mine was working loose, and I wound up putting a new female connector in it.

ya check your connections... my mom's 01 had some major sensor problems with the air bag light... might be a sensor issue??? maybe, not sure but definitely worth looking into

Did you buy one of the Lifetime warranty crap alternators from AZ, Advance or one of the larger stores? If so I bet the alt is bad. I had had to replace 3 before getting a good one. They use the cheapest parts they can in the rebuild. Their starters are even worse. Now I only deal with DB electrical and I know I have a good unit. Check the voltage that the alt is putting out, should be around 14 volts. Could also be a loose or burnt harness so troubleshoot it.
Good Luck

I have gone through 3alts under warranty on my 2006. I hope this one works.

did you have the batts. load tested? if they are not able to hold a charge youll run into that problem, even with a new alt.
