The "Battery" light ALWAYS means a bad alternator. (diodes, brushes, or
regulator)

> In the past week, my "BATTERY" icon caution light has

> from my other 505 wagon) to get it home.

> Situation: I took the ORIGINAL battery (in car) to

> Background: I jump started an old car about a week

> the old car (an old AMC Ramberler American) finally
> started. However, this is the only ususual thing I've

> After changing batteries last night - using the OLD
> battery. I removed the POS and NEG connectors, and did

> strangly, the same RED BATTERY caution light

> I suspect a bad alternator. Has anyone had this

> FYI: The folks at Autozone said the alternator was
