Ok. I recently replaced my starter (another thread) and finally got it working correctly. Shortly after starting up my Malibu I get the battery light on the dash. I disconnected the battery with the car on several times and it shuts off. I removed the alternator and got it tested at Autozone and Oreillys and they both tell me its good. I brought back the alternator reinstalled it and tried the same test. Same result, car shut off. Despite what Autozone and Oreilly's said, I bought the dang alternator anyways. Installed that, and same problem. Light pops up on dash. Disconnected the battery and engine immediately shuts down. Could it be a possible short somewhere????

Any help would be appreciated.

your diagnostics are messed up. Diagnose the light. unhooking the battery tells you nothing really, that is 1950 auto repair tech. get on the zones website and get a schematic for your car. check the battery connections and have it load tested, most problems are there....

Well the battery is only about 6 months old, so I really doubt that it's that. I guess I should check the schematics and see what I can find.
Thanks for your help.
