Hi all
I had a dead alternator replaced today after having the car die on the highway. However the little light on top of the battery is still red - will it turn green again?
I measured the voltage across the battery and got 13V when the car is OFF and 14V when the car is on - so I think the new alternator is running and the battery is charged at least for now. But I am worried that the little light on the battery hasn't gone back to green. Or is it a "once its red it stays red" kind of deal?
