Alright, so I have a 98' F150. About two weeks ago my battery light came on so I go to check it out only to find out the alternator I had put in this past January was dead. I thought maybe it was just a defective one or something. I got a new battery just to be safe and went and had the alternator replaced. Driving home today I see the battery light turn on. What could this be? I'm thinking maybe a harness or wire has gone bad becuase I doubt I'd get two dud alternators. What do you think?

Thanks.

 

Its possible, most alts are rebuilt nowadays. I got 2 back to back on one of my fleet trucks

 

Hell my grandpa got 3 in a row bad from autozone.

 

Well thats terrible, the shop is checking it out today. I just want it fixed haha

 

Haha yeah. So are they gonna test it or something?

 

They tested it and a 175Amp fuse was blown and the wires were really tight going to the alternator so they put some slack in the wires and replaced that fuse. Hopefully it'll work out.
