Check the voltage of your battery, first thing to do. It should be 12+ volts shown in you battery tester. Then, start the engine and check the battery voltage again. If the voltage goes up to 14 to 14+ volts, it means that your alternator is working. It's time for you to replace the battery.

If your 1994 Ford Probe's alternator checks out good but the battery isn't charging, consider inspecting the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, as poor connections can prevent proper charging. Additionally, check the wiring and fuses related to the charging system for any damage or breaks. Lastly, a faulty battery can also be the culprit, so testing the battery's health is essential.

What could be causing the the battery light to stay on after replaceing the battery in a 2003 Ford Expedition?

The battery light comes on when the alternator is not charging. Changing the battery did nothing. Either put a gauge on the battery to see if it is charging, or while running, disconnet the positive cable from the battery. If the car dies that means the alternator is not charging. Most parts stores will check it for free. Oriely's , Autozone, etc.


Is there a reset for the battery light in a 2005 Ford Focus?

NO. The battery light as you call it is actually the charging system light. If it is staying on the charging system is not working properly. More than likely the alternator has failed. It really has very little to do with the battery.
