Best bet take it to the dealer.They can check it and fix it right. This type of problem need a pro.

The first thing is to check the battery voltage with the engine running. It should be 13.5-14.5 volts. If it is, then the light is on for the wrong reason, maybe a grounded wire. If it is not, then the alternator is not charging. It may be that you got a bad alternator, or may be a wiring issue.

Go to your local parts store and have them test your altenator to see if it is working properly (there could be a blown fuse to the altenator)
