Question:

98 eclipse battery light?

My battery light turned on few days ago. I changed the battery since it was old, but the light is still on.is it the alternator? or what?

Answer:

Usually the alternator sets the light on, either not charging or a bad diode within the alternator itself.gl
Its a possibility for sure. Most auto parts stores will check the charging system the battery and the starter for free. Just as them to check with the machine inside the store. It sounds like you were aware of the older batterybutt if the light is still on it may have some other problem too. Possibly a bad voltage regulator which is in the alternator or it could be a slipping or worn belt too.
