Why is the battery light still on after a battery change?
Replaced battery (under warranty, appeared to have one cell bad) but still doing it. Drove to the parts store, pulled the alternator out in the parking lot (could do it in about 5 minutes by now) and brought it in and tested it while hot, it failed.
Is the battery still on after a new battery?
I chanced it when I needed a new alternator, I got a new alternator from Advance Auto, their Carquest 130 amp one, and it is working fine so far, but has a lifetime warranty. One thing when testing alternators is many times they will test fine for the short test when cold on the test bench, but when hot they won’t charge worth a darn.
What happens if your car battery goes out?
This battery provides energy to virtually every electrical component of the vehicle, such as its ignition system, engine control unit, headlights, radio, interior lights, and so on. If the battery fails to recharge or dies altogether, then your vehicle will not be able to function.
Why is the battery light on on my 4.6L?
Broken wire coming off the alternator. It may not look broken but it could be broke inside the insulation. That was the story with my 4.6L. The battery light would come on and off, wiggled the single grey wire and it would turn the light on and off.
