Re: Battery light on and just put in a new battery. Help!
why was the battery replaced?
the battery should be rated at 550 cold cranking amps or higher.
double check that the bolts are tight. careful when checking the positive side, don't let anything medal(namey a wrench) touch the positive bolt to anything else on the car. bad things will happen.
also possibly a bad alternator. the right way to test it is take to a shop or take it off yourself and have a part store test it(most will for free).
heres the redneck way to test it - let the can run in park, headlights, radio, A/C, everything turned on.if it dies by itself, its the alternater.(it will take a little time, but i doubt more then 30 minutes)if this is the case, you will need to recharge or jump the battery.
