    Battery light stays on. After looking at the wiring, noticed that the wire goes into a fuse thing made for amps and subs. Eventually wanna also put a sound system in. Since I can't find an OEM alternator wire, figured why not do this now. Cheaper than trying to replace the alternator or battery first

    Is the system charging? If it is and the light is on then you have the wrong alternator installed.

    Take it to a FLAPS to have it checked out.

    Does this set include the battery terminals?
    I also have my battery light coming on deceleration and I have
    a constant drain in the lighting. You can see it cycle when the headlights are on.
    The lights dim every few seconds.
    Note: dealer installed replacement alternator. It died in 90 days.
    They replaced that under warranty about 15 months ago.

    Per the picture, no terminals are included.

    Take it back to the dealer.

    You need new terminals.

    What's the dealer going to do, tell me I need another alternator?
    NO warranty this time. I rather upgrade with the Big 3 first,
    then change to a better alternator.

    The display is in the positive terminal. The wire goes to the negative terminal or ground.
