Re: 96 3.8 Hard Starting/Rough Running Battery Light On

I would check and clean all the battery connections and verify good connection to the chasis.
Otherwise, you may need a new battery.
The battery light is an indication that a voltage is being sensed as too low, which only takes 1 poor connection, or defective battery, or defective alternator.

Low voltage will cause the engine to run rough, can cause fuel pump issues, etc.
