"was having charging system problem so alternator was replaced now car keeps flooding and won`t fire.
alternator needs to be replaced. battery also might be a problem due to the alternator not charging it
New Alternator BUT Warning Light Still Stays OnMaybe there was nothing wrong with the alternator you replaced, and the problem is somewhere else in the charging system!Although possible, it is highly unlikely that a new alternator would be defective.
The charging system is the alternator which is on and functioning anytime the engine is running. If not, then you have a problem with the alternator.
you may have a bad battery or a bad voltage regulator
Bad alternator
The vehicle has a charging problem, perhaps a faulty alternator.
Charging system problem. Normally this means there is a problem with the alternator.
This is not a battery problem. Your charging system, the alternator, is not putting out enough juice to charge the battery until you reach 4000 rpm. Have the alternator and charging system checked.
You need to check if the ALTERNATOR is giving the correct output so as to charge the battery. By having a volt meter across the batery terminals one can then rev the engine and the voltage accross the battery should be about 13.8 volt indicating that the Alternator is charging the battery. If this 12 volt bateery voltage does not increase, this indicates a charging problem (mostly with the alternator either the brushes or one of the diodes in the alternator).
Have the charging system checked. The light comes on when there is a charging system problem. it may be a battery, alternator or a battery problem.
Check all earth connections Have the battery heavy discharge tested (Drop tested)
my 05' cavalier has a bad alternator problem its charging the battery a little bit then stops and the little power my battery has is drained by the end of the night. I replaced the alternator twice and the battery but still no difference.
