New radiator and now battery light??

[green95]

I put a new radiator in my 95, and now the battery light is on. i put every plug back on, checked everything 3 times. its never been on before. i had to unplug the alternator to get the radiator out, but i plugged it back in. HELP!

The plug on top of the alternator is probably not plugged in all the way.

+1 on the alternator plug. Maybe clean the contacts at this point for it may have gotten dirty when you were working on the radiotor replacement. Worst case scenario>>>one problem after another.

Hope you find the problem.

could it be a short and the alternator may actually be charging? Is that possible?

Get a volt meter and see what it's putting out.

I looked at my car this morning, and after closer inspection, i found the wire on the left side of the alternator is broken. I'll fix that wire today and hopefully it will work.
