Battery light
My battery light comes on and off. The alternator passed a bench test and battery is new. I was told it is likely a loose ground somewhere. Anyone have ideas or experienced this?

Yes, it was the alternator. It passed a bench test but the brushes were worn and not making continuous contact.

we have replaced our alternator twice and our battery, but the light is still on. And the charge is not correct.

Take it somewhere that has a technician who know what he's doing and have them diagnose it.
