- Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:52 pm #269277 I replaced my Alt. today and i put new battery cables on

i had to jump the car to get it started after i replaced the alt.
and it starts everytime, and i can run my lights and radio(my car would die yesterday when i used anything electrical)

but my battery light is still on...

so my question is how do i get my light off

ive tried the following
*charging the battery at autozone
*checked all fuses

i unplug the green plug and the light goes away and comes back when its pluged in


plz help!!!

- Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:36 pm #269278 what did you get the alternator out of or is this a brand new one? id check and make sure the 10mm bolt is tight on either end of the thick white wire (alternator and the fuse box) thats what i would say could be an issue

i havent checked the car in a few hrs but imma see if it starts

it seems like the battery is gettin and holding a charge
just the battery light is on

- Sat Aug 27, 2011 11:34 pm #269285 batt light is on due to low voltage... return that autozone garbage & hit up your local alt/starter shop they will want the core but it should only be about a 100 buck

any 92-95 D series alt will work and you can most likely pic one up for 25 bucks
