Hello and welcome to FixYa!


If the battery light is on, I strongly suggest that you have the battery charged. It can be an indication of a weak battery or a faulty alternator. If the battery light still on after charging then the problem will surely be on the alternator itself. If that's the case the alternator should be replaced to resolve the problem.


If the battery won't hold charge even on a new alternator then the problem will be on the battery itself. It surely is in the end of it's service life and replacement will be necessary.


You may try to reset it to by removing the positive battery connector, letting it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the system and can get the battery light off.


Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Car wont start and i have a new battery

have the battery load tested as brand new batteries can be faulty. Check that the terminals on the battery are shiny clean and tight. Check battery leads are in good condition and not corroded away and check the earth wire is fixed and in good condition.

Why does the battery light come on? It's a new battery

On some vehicles battery light will come on when the battery is below a certain voltage, in some cases if the alternator is not charging the voltage will drop causing the battery light to come on, even if the battery is brand new, auto electrician would be worth visiting.
