I replaced the battery on my SUV, and still the battery light is on. Any advice please?

Hi,

If the battery light remains on, there is a good chance the alternator isn't recharging the battery.

Here is what we need to do. It is really easy to check the alternator. All you need is a voltmeter or multimeter. Follow the directions in this link and let me know the results.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
