If the battery light is still on after installing a new alternator and battery, it suggests that there may be an underlying issue with your vehicle's charging system. Here are a few possible reasons why the battery light is still illuminated.

Faulty Alternator

While you mentioned that you installed a new alternator, there is still a possibility that the replacement alternator is defective or not functioning properly. It's worth double-checking the alternator's connections and ensuring that it is providing the correct voltage output.

Loose or Damaged Wiring

Check all the wiring connections related to the alternator and battery, including the ground wires. Loose or damaged wiring can interrupt the charging process and cause the battery light to remain on.

Belt Issues

A loose or slipping alternator belt can affect the functioning of the alternator, resulting in insufficient charging. Ensure that the belt is properly tensioned and in good condition.

Voltage Regulator Problems

The voltage regulator is responsible for regulating the electrical output from the alternator. If the voltage regulator is faulty, it may not be sending the correct voltage to the battery, causing the battery light to stay on.

Battery Cables and Terminals

Examine the battery cables and terminals for any signs of corrosion, looseness, or damage. Poor connections can prevent the battery from charging correctly.

Other Electrical Issues

There may be other electrical issues within the vehicle's charging system, such as a faulty fuse, relay, or control module. A professional mechanic with diagnostic equipment can help identify and resolve such problems.

It's important to note that diagnosing and repairing electrical issues can be complex, and it may be best to consult a qualified mechanic or automotive electrician to diagnose and resolve the problem. They will have the necessary expertise and tools to accurately identify the cause of the battery light and ensure that the charging system is functioning correctly.
