What wiring could keep the alternator from charging the battery?
Crhea80223
I had this problem in the past, and only later found that the battery ground wasn't good. Removed black battery cable from the grounding point (opposite end of cable from battery), cleaned the spot where it was attached, and cleaned the cable end, then reattached it. Worked fine then. Only one possibility though.

When the light is on it means the system is not charging. This is almost always the alternator. Can also be a loose alternator belt, loose wire, or break in the wiring. Drive the car to an Auto Parts store and have them check the charging system. You can also check the voltage output of the alternator with a multi-meter. At the battery posts with the engine running it should read between 13.5-15 volts.
