Sometimes an alternator with a weak diode(s)can test out fine, but can still trigger the light. I believe the problem is in your alternator. Good luck.

How do you know alternator is good?

Get a digital multimeter (or, if you're cool like me, you have a test light with a voltmeter built in). Find a good ground, then put the contact to the alternator output. At low idle, you should be measuring between 13.6 and 14.6 volts, depending on what your alternator is and what type of vehicle you have.

Manufacturer defect maybe... go to a reliable shop and have them bench test the alternator...if not working have them replace it... ask to see results of bench test.


93 Ford Aerostar alternator light is on you had the alternator check and it comes out good what else should you check?

There are times when the alternator will test out fine as far as amp output and voltage output but if your alternator has a weak diode(s) it may trigger the light to go on. I hate to say you should replace the alternator, but your charging system is pretty much self contained in your alternator so I believe the problem is in fact in your alternator. Good luck.
