Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / April 2005F150 1999 Battery Light on
Hi all: driving around when i noticed the battery light on. thats the red symbol on dash that looks like a battery. Alternator voltage guage seemed fine. Finally today (3 days after light on) truck would not start. jumped it and it started fine. drove 5 miles and died on road. jumped again and drove home but would not start. installed new battery and light still on but starts and runs fine for now. sure it will run down battery soon. any thoughts on alternator replacement or direction should go? Thanks, Ed >Hi all: driving around when i noticed the battery light on. thats the red >symbol on dash that looks like a battery.

Most likely, you wasted your money on a new battery. The battery will not cause this light to come on. It is activated by low alternator output. That said, get a good quality rebuilt or a new one. I had an Autozone alternator on my F150 that I got from them where it failed at 2:00am in a gotta go situation. After replacing it several times, I got one from NAPA - no more problems. Now that you have a new battery anyway, your new alternator that you are now going to get should have a good life. Good luck Lugnut >>Hi all: driving around when i noticed the battery light on. thats the red >>symbol on dash that looks like a battery.

Will look into my alternator replacement. seen reg and 130 amp. will most likely get stronger rebuilt unit. Thanks again. >>Hi all: driving around when i noticed the battery light on. thats the red >>symbol on dash that looks like a battery.
