What else can I help you with?
What should you do if battery was not charged before installing new alternator?
My advice is to charge the battery with a battery charger before starting the engine. You will be putting a heavy load on the alternator if you allow it to charge a dead battery. This could damage the alternator.

Why would the battery light only come on when you press the gas pedal on my 98 ford contour?
If the battery light on your 1998 Ford Contour only comes on when you press the gas pedal, it may indicate a problem with the alternator or charging system. Pressing the gas pedal increases engine RPM, which should boost the alternator's output; if the light comes on during this time, it could suggest the alternator isn't generating enough power to charge the battery. Additionally, a loose or worn serpentine belt could be slipping under increased load, affecting the alternator's performance. It's advisable to have the charging system tested to diagnose and address the issue properly.

There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
Why would the alternator in your 1994 Mitsubishi galant not be charging the battery when it is not defective?
usualy if the alternator is not defective then its the battery. you should start by cleaning the battery post. then you could check the terminal wire that runs from the battery post to the alternator. if thats not it you should check the ground on the alternator.
