Tribute 2001 - Battery light always on.
My 2001 Tribute has its battery light always on as if the battery is faulty or its not charging. Funny enough charging is just okay/normal.
have tried changing batteries, changing voltage regulator in the alternator, Checked all fuses but the light still on whenever the engine is running. Anyone who has encountered.this problem & the possible remedy... |

You possibly have a short to ground somewhere on the wire between the alt and the warning light. Check for damage/chafing to the wire along its full length.
So been wondering, the relay controlling the alternator in the fuse box, can't it be cause? How do those relays wear out? |

I did try to check for naked wires on the harness but could not find any, also tried to clean the 2 main wire (+ & -) in the fuse box but still more.

Which relay would that be? AFAIK all the alternator control is onboard the alt...

I actually meant to say a fuse...
Is the battery light on solid or does it come and go? What was changed on the alt when you say the regulator was changed? |
