Batter voltage stays low

Asked by jasoneime1985 Jun 11, 2013 at 11:57 PM about the 1997 Ford Mustang

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My battery meter drops on dash. I was pulling fuses and found that fuse # 15 was
causing this problem. The accessories that go with that are the instrument cluster,
warning chime, and air bag. I think it's the air because the light is on. Because of this my
battery is not charging. I checked alternator and battery and are both good.
