    Battery Charge light on, system is charging

    I replaced the alternator based on what PEP boys told me. However, that was not the problem. The system works fine. My numbers are about the same as you posted. So battery is good and so is alternator. The light stays on all the time. I did not check resistance between the batter and the...
