Without having the vehicle an doing some testing we'd only be guessing . Your best bet would be have a qualified repair shop look at it . You replaced the starter but the battery light stays on ? That's because the starter has nothing to do with the charging system . The battery light is an indication the charging system has a problem . The charging system on your vehicle is controlled by the PCM - engine computer . The first thing to do would have been to hook up a scan tool an check for codes in the PCM & BCM .
Your alternator may not be putting out enough power to keep the battery fully charged. The battery could be old and need replacement. Better to get your charging system and battery checked or you may get stranded somewhere in the near future.
Try replacing the "convinence control module" and bad board can cause all elec issues explained and also cause engine to cut out and other things but that is where I would start, hope this helps-

Sounds like your blinker needs replacing. Depending on your model it's located in with your fuses and is a larger round thing. Pull it out and replace it.
If this doesn't do the trick you have an electrical system issue and will need a pro to find it.
Hiya, Contrary to popular belief, the battery light does not tell you if your battery is any good or not.
What it does do is indicate if the cars charging system is working. If the charging system is not working the battery will go flat quite quickly and that is why the indicator light has a battery on it as it is informing you that if you don't get the alternator fixed, you battery will go flat.
So, the light is indicating a fault with your cars charging system.....check the fanbelt first.....is it on and OK?
If fanbelt is OK then the fault is more than likely inside your alternator and should be checked byu putting a voltmeter on your battery terminals with the engine running....you should get at least 13v and up to 14.5v when you increase engine RPM when you have load on the system (headlights on, wipers on, blower fan on)
If you get a reading other than above, then best to take it to the garage to get it fixed/replaced.
When your battery light comes on while your car is running, it indicates that your charging system has stopped functioning (as least while the light is on). It is recommended that if that happens, you should immediately turn off any electrical loads (AC, heater, wipers, radio, etc.) that you can do without, and get to a place where your charging system can be checked. The engine will not run for very long with the battery not getting a charge.
Hope this helps you understand the problem.
