Bad wiring or a short? LIght's dimming until car completely turns off

Asked by Muzzled Mar 03, 2013 at 09:06 AM about the 2005 Chrysler Sebring Touring Convertible FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just had my motor replaced. I noticed the battery light was on.  The lights dimmed until it finally just died.  Had battery tested and recharged, installed a new altenator, and that light is still on.  I'm afraid to drive it because it may just die on me again.  Is there a short somewhere or wiring problems?

If you can, take it to a local Advance Auto Parts and they can check your electrical system to see if your alternator is charging the car.
