I was driving down the road when my battery light came on bright and solid. I checked the alternator and that's fine, the terminals are good. I swapped alternator fuses. The battery is producing 12.2 volts idling. I'm absolutely stumped, I'm not sure what to do.

There are two fuses we need to check # 10 7.5 amp and #3 10 amp in the interior fuse panel. Here is a guide to help and the fuse location is the diagrams below. I have also included the alternator wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
