Purchased a new battery, starter, and alternator and the battery light want go off. I can't understand why after doing all of that I still can't figure out what the problem is. I have also checked all of the fuses in both of the fuse box compartments. After doing all of that I still haven't figured out what the problem is. There has to be a solution to my problem. Is there a third fuse box located in the car that I haven't found or something¿?¿???Help me

I believe there is a fuseable link between the alt and the starter. Check to see if it is burned.

IT should be between the alt and the battery.

If that is good, you need to have the alt bench tested. It doesn't sound like it is working.
