i have changed my car battery but the light still wont go off?

Answer 1

you need a new alternator.

Answer 2

while car is running with headlights on pull the positive side terminal on the battery....if it dies......bad alternator or very loose belt. loose belts usually squeak alot. I have seen a wire come loose once at the connector of alternator for one wire goes to the sensor light on the dash panel this wire was the smallest size and yellow on a ford. also look at the connector too for black burn marks meaning bad connection.
If the alternator is like 300 bucks at autozone....then hit the junk yards....offer them 30 bucks.

Answer 3

The battery light will stay when your alternator is bad.

Answer 4

then there is something else wrong with it,possibly a bad connection,or the alternator isn't charging enough on it,you need to have it checked at a shop,you cant drive it like this,if its not charging,it ill kill the new battery in it in no time,take it and have it checked,good luck on it.

Answer 5

Cause your alternator is NOT WORKING. Its the alternator light, not the battery light

Answer 6

sometimes the wire connecting to your altinator becomes loose, and your battery light will come up telling you it is not charging. check to make sure its not the wire connecting to your altinator otherwise your altinator is bad! to check got a bad altinator, take a multi-meter and while the car is running, check to make sure 14 volts is going to the battery, any less and your altinator is bad. good luck
