You have an open connection from the large alternator output post to the starter main battery post or fuses blown or circuits open feeding the alternator control wiring.
The battery light is letting you know that the alternator is not charging the battery. Check to see if alternator is any good. Also check to see if belt is hooked up.
Simple, just replace your alternator..
If your battery was dead and you jumped it to get it started and the gauge shows your not charging you need to replace the alternator.
Yes, a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with a 3.3L V6 engine needs a functioning alternator to start. The alternator charges the battery while the engine is running, but if the battery is fully charged, the car can start without the alternator working. However, once the engine is running, it will rely on the alternator for electrical power and to keep the battery charged. If the alternator fails while driving, the vehicle may eventually lose power and stall.
I would suspect a bad alternator and battery, have them both checked at the parts store. A car with a fully charged battery and a bad alternator will run until the battery is drained and then quit.
replace the alternator if your system isn't charging.
Check your RPO codes. If it has K60 then you have a 100 amp alternator.
Possibly defective alternator, or loose or corroded wiring. Drive to an auto parts store and have them check the charging system. Most will do this free of charge.Possibly defective alternator, or loose or corroded wiring. Drive to an auto parts store and have them check the charging system. Most will do this free of charge.
The most obvious thing to check when a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme won't start is to make sure that the vehicle has gas. You should also check the battery. If the car clicks when you try to start it, it is likely the alternator.
the battery is under the window wash tank
The battery one the 95 cutlass supreme is on the from driver side of the car,underneath the washer fluid container.
