How do you get the battery light to go off when you replace the alternator in 1999 ford windstar?
I have a 99 Windstar and when my mechanic replaced the alternator the battery light would not go out he took back about 2 alternators, stating that the alternator was not good, because the battery light stayed on. Finally, he had the last one he put in tested and it was fine, but the battery light still came on. He called a Ford mechanic and they said you have to use a ford alternator, because the computer can not recognize other brands of alternators. Once he did the light went out. He said occasionally it will recognize an off brand, but when it doesn't the battery light stays on and it can cause problems with the computer, and I believe he said the cyliniod could burn out. He just bought a re-built alternator from the ford dealer for about $199.00

Your battery light comes on because you have an electrical problem. It may be in a switch, a relay, a sensor, or the fans. Since you have to ask, you should have a mechanic check it out.
Why will your 1994 Jeep Cherokee will completely lose power but will restart?
Just had this happen to me except mine was a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. All it wound up being was the battery. Once I replaced it, it worked great. Don't worry, I thought the same thing you were. How is the Jeep able to restart if the battery is dead? My mechanic told me it's because it's drawing it's power from the alternator. My alternator was working great but it was the battery that wasn't holding the charge. Hope this is the same with you.
If your car does not start could it be more than just the battery that needs to be replaced?
Try charging the battery first. if it wount chage it needa replaced. There are a lot of good batteries on the market and the difference in the price is the length of the warranty. Don't get one that is too small as it will fail soomer. GoodluckJoe
Why does computer CMOS battery just drains out after a few days?
I would have to say that there is something bad in the circuitry of your motherboard. I would contact the manufacturer to see if you can get your mobo replaced because a CMOS battery should not do this.
How do you reboot a car computer?
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery Leave it disconnected for an hour. (The amount of time it takes to replace the battery). Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This works because a transient (voltage spike, noise) is generated when the terminal is reconnected. This is not necessary when the battery is replaced because the negative terminal is normally the last connected. However, when a car's battery dies in storage for example and is recharged with disconnecting the battery, the car might not start because the computer is not running.
Why won't my car start I just had the battery checked and had a new alternator installed It started twice after having the alternator replaced but it will not start now?
If the engine doesn't turn over at all there are a few things that are possible. Start with the battery ground cable and make sure it is making a good ground and is not broken. Also check the positive cable from the battery to make sure you have a good connection and no breaks in the wire. If these are both good you may need to replace the starter motor. There are brushes inside the starter (yes they can be replaced if you know how to take the starter apart) that will grind down to the point of not making enough contact to start your car. Since you said you had the alternator replaced I'm thinking it probably is the starter because any competent mechanic would have checked the battery cables before replacing the alternator.
Why is there a gas smell under the hood of my Tacoma after having the head gasket replaced The mechanic said it was because the exhaust manifold is cracked but there is a smell of gas not exhaust?
