Check the battery direct with a volt meter, while running. Should have around 14 volts. Less than 13, then might have to replace the alt.
alternator or bad wires
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.
Something is on drawing power. Can be any light on the vehicle or a relay stuck.
Alternator needs replacing.
Clean both battery cables and check the connections on the alternator. If it continues, go to auto zone and have the alternator checked.
on my old 1.2 clio the battery light came on as there was fault with the alternator and it needed replacing. As far as i know the battery light comes on when the battery is not charging or there is a fault with the battery.
yes if one of the wires was getting an earth from the alternator cover or rubbing off the engine the battery light is really an alternator light warning you that the alternator is not charging the battery
Only if something is wrong. Drive it to your local auto parts store and have them check the system. Most do it for free.
Usually when the battery light comes on its the Alternator, or a bad wire from Alternator to battery, but id check Alternator first.
MAYBE IT COULD BE A BAD SENSOR. IF IT IS RUNNING GOOD I WOULD JUST IGNORE IT.
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. The alternator should have 2 connections.
