Hi everyone, I have a problem with my brothers VX V6, My sister in law decided to give her neighbour a jump start and the neighbour connected the jump leads around the wrong way, The battery light is now on permanently and the battery died. I tested the output of the alternator and she was putting out 9.5 volts. I charged the battery and replaced the Alternator and now am getting a charge of between 13.5 - 14.5 volts which I presume is in the good range. The problem is the battery light is still on. I thought it would be because the battery has been dickey lately and I connected via jumper leads my car battery but still the light is on. I don't think the car is running of the battery as the alternator is putting out a charge but when I dis connect the battery from the terminals the car stops ?
What else could have gone wrong here ? I am at a loss. I thought maybe the BCM has had a spike and is cactus but not sure.
Cheers.
