The fact that your asking here indicates that you're kind of a slow learner. Stop replacing things because some nitwit made a wild guess as to what's wrong. Anybody who can use a voltmeter and knows anything about cars can track the problem down in two minutes.

IF YOU OIL LIGHT IS STILL ON I SUGGEST YOU CHECK YOUR OIL. IF YOU BATTERY LIGHT IS ON TIGHTEN THE BELT AGAIN AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE 20 MINUTES. SOMTIMES THE BELT STRETCH WHEN THEY WARM UP. CHECK THE PLAY IN THE BELT. SNUG NOT TIGHT. ALSO YOU COULD HAVE A BAD ALTERNATOR. THE NEW ONE I MEAN. VOLT TEST IT. IT SHOULD PUT OUT 13V OR HIGHER WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IF IT IS 12 OR LESS. THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD. THE BATTERY SHOULD READ 12.5 OR HIGHER WHEN OFF AND 13.5V OR MORE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IF IT READS UNDER 12V WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING THEN THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED TO IT'S FULL CAPACITY. TRY IT. OR GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BOUGHT THE STUFF AND HAVE THEM CHECK THEIR ALTERATOR AND BATTERY. GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS.

Start with the simple things first.Check the fuses and check the battery terminals. You should check for loose/ weak connections and for corrosion on battery posts.

Go to autozone if one nearby and have them put the machine on your car (free service) and it will check your entire charging system and they will delete trouble code, but the wire from the alternator to the starter solenoid if loose or broken will cause the circuit not to be complete and will not charge.

in case you think the battery..? You first choose for on the age of the battery.. usually--a 12-volt motor vehicle battery lasts--3 years.. i will get mine--to final 4 years.. And whilst i began out to apply a 2-amp over-nite cost (wintry climate months)--i'd desire to get 5 years of use../ === A 12-volt battery has definite--specs/ a clean 12-volt battery--actual holds a status cost=13.2 volts.. ..to a low=12.7 volts.. If the status cost=12.4 volts or much less..you have a volatile battery../ === The 12-volt electric powered equipment--makes use of a alternator//that supplies a 14.4 volts recharging modern-day.. ..maximum of my trickle chargers..additionally are--14.4 volts.. === If a motor vehicle has a towing kit..the alternator--may additionally supply extra effective than the customary--14.4 volts../ === If the dashboard caution gentle--is lit../ it would desire to not be top seated in its socket.. it would desire to have been stressed in-wisely--once you worked on the alternator.
