Battery light stays on. Stumped?

Plan on swapping the alternator and or pigtail in the future.

I repair medical equipment for a living. Cleaning wires doesn't guarantee a "good" connection. If the contacts don't fit tight you can still have an intermittent connection either at the harness or in the alternator itself. Inspect the harness closely and see how the connection is made, then adjust as needed. Like stamp11127 stated above you may need to pigtail another harness ( cheaper ). Start with the harness. If that doesn't solve it, then another alternator. Buy a good one.

Any vendor on the site and go with name brands.

Nothing wrong with refurbished parts as long as the replacement parts are of good/high quality.
