Why is my battery light on?

Asked by Jim Jul 09, 2020 at 09:30 PM about the 2006 Honda Accord SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My battery light is on and I just fully charged my battery and replaced my
alternator.  Is there something else I should be checking?

While running, what is the voltage off the alt? And what is the voltage at the battery? Is it the same? Possible broken wire Did we check fuses?!?

nice rec Matthew, I like that one! Do you have old belts?? There is a possibility that an old belt could have slip on the pulley and therefore the alternator doesn't get to charge the battery as effective as a new belt with better grip on the pulley would.
