Why does the battery warning light come on after replacing the alternator?
A relatively common “side-effect” of replacing a battery and/or alternator in a car is to have the voltage (battery) warning light come on. This is especially true in late-model vehicles with their more sophisticated internal diagnostic systems.
When to check the voltage of the alternator?
When investigating a flat battery or other potential issue you should always check the voltage with the engine running to make sure the alternator output is charging the battery sufficiently otherwise your only guessing the battery is at fault – as you found out the fault was elsewhere.

Why is the battery light on but charger is off?
The battery light is on but the voltmeter says 13.5 to 14.5 volts depending on the engine revs. When engine is off the volts drop to about 12. My mechanic says that the alternator must be charging – but why is the light on? Assuming that the voltmeter is correct and reads 13.5v to 14.5v, what could be the problem?
When does the battery warning light come on?
The light comes on if 12v is being produced at the alternator, but not being produced by the battery (or vise versa). When the voltages are the same, the light turns off. Could be a bad connection. 6 months since everything was stripped off and put back on is enough time for a significant amount of corrosion to build up.
Why does the battery light come on on my Ford Focus?
If your Ford Focus’s battery light is on, it means a few things. It is trying to warn you that there is an issue with the charging system. The charging system itself is relatively simple.

Why does the battery light stay on when I change the alternator?
If you changed the battery first, then changed the alternator, this may not have happened. Sometimes it’s as easy as fully disconnecting both terminals and reconnecting the battery. Check the voltage from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal on the battery (record this).
