What if u change battery and alternator and it's still on

[@edwardbarton5176]

Great explanation. I did the exact same thing today. I had a new battery at home so I call my son and he brought it to me. I was approximately 4 miles from home.

[@barrymayes6712]

That’s amazing! I have a lithium battery jump pack in my car and had never thought I could drive with it connected to a flat battery. Top advice-thanks

[@RYO92]

ATENTION !!! If you have a DIESEL engine don't pull over and don't stop your engine ! You will manage to arive where you going because diesel engine still works if you don't have batery.

[@DougHinVA]

This is stopgap stuff he says... You may be on a highway 100 miles from home or near home and a good garage... it depends! A battery warning light can be from several things, so get it checked by a mechanic. An old car and an old alternator worn out is one cause. A battery to be replaced is another, but without testing you cannot be sure.. A serpentine belt may be very old and slipping and need replacing. Use common sense...

[@Eurospec73]

Thanks for making this it was definitely very informative. My battery light comes on, but it’s very dim when it comes on I’m not sure exactly what that means other than a faulty component in my charging system, it’s probably something to do with the alternator, but I just replaced my alternator not even a year ago, I would hate to take it out of the car again.

[@JoseCastillo-ye7je]

Dude. the minute you said alternator I went to it and checked the connector and realized It was partially unhooked, I must’ve hit it enough to stay connected while changing plugs, coil and wires. During my test drive I guess it wasn’t making solid contact. All good now! Thanks!

[@franabbott8584]

Very excellent jobs

[@emmakangala1655]

That's Great lesson just got the same issue on the freeway and i took your advice. Please let me grab that jump starter if still available.

Battery light came on but when I tested the battery there was nothing wrong with the charging system. What else could this mean?

[@jonathanrayne]

Same thing with me. My altenator is brand new and brand new battery. The damn light is still on.

Thanks for your video, I took charge removed the alternator had it checked and you were right, it was bad. God bless!!!

[@FlatRateMechanic]

Your welcome. Glad it helped out.

[@rianvanheerden8487]

5 minutes of driving on a fresh battery....I drove for hours when my alternator blew....it all just depends on when you are driving and how many times you start your vehicle....If you drive during the day and you stop down hill so you can do a rolling start...you can drive pretty far

[@jddeefo1022]

Good vid, straightforward and not a lot of fluff talk, 👍

[@joea104]

I had this light come on last night on my 2003 chevy cavalier, I did feel like the lights were a bit dimmer and I drove it about 1hours to my house luckily it made it. after I got to my house the ABS light also came on and would go away. The moment I turned off the car it wouldn't start, sounded like a dead battery so I feel like my alternator is just starting to crap out on me.

[@tsilisosamueltsoaeli1249]

Dual battery is also a good idea use a boat battery switch that select batt1 batt2 both and off simple cheap and more reliable than a DCDC system or relay

[@Thic_300]

Tonight 2017 Buick Enclave the “service battery charging system” indicator came on and the red battery light on the dash. I made it home 63 miles stopped and had it tested and it read 12.15V 40% charge

[@iexplorervinci]

Thanks for the word. I’d like to have that too as gift if you still have more to give. Thanks again

[@UlyssesMcclendon-ko9fu]

I was wondering would the battery deteriorate the alternator ,thank for the aspirin

[@TheBeanMan]

I have a aftermarket alternator on my 1999 Isuzu wizard and I just have to rev the engine up to around 5k rpm and the light goes off and I can drive for hundreds kilometres. Good video... Looks like I'll just have to get a larger alternator

[@hybridramper-futurearmy1160]

That happens to me on my Tucson 2013. So can it be the alternator?

[@316hit_the_gas7]

Brand new battery and the alternator passed what could it be??

[@Cadetmajor7]

Me too. Did you figure it out

[@johnecker4217]

If it's a Ford f-150 (or any Ford from 2000 up) you need to buy a OEM ALTERNATOR FROM FORD, New or refurbished or from the junk yard. You new ALTERNATOR is probably good & putting out 14+ amps & charging the battery, but for some reason these knock off refurbished or new aftermarket ALTERNATORS from China are missing a diode or something like that, & the Ford computer system can't get the correct information from the charging system. So the computer thinks something is wrong and it does its job 🤔 It puts the light on PS Some good news for people who owns Fords with the push button starting systems, there are KZbin videos that show you some neat tricks to turn off the battery light for good. (That is if everything is working properly on your charging system and the light is still on.) I'll try to put a link to the videos below. I Hope it helps someone kzbin.info/www/bejne/al64kpluobOWhNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIm5nWaMgseYjdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHe1fnqfp5t-ndU

No, static discharge has nothing to do with battery condition. It most likely caused by by the high voltage ignition coil no grounded properly
