2000 mustang battery light
30

Asked by 35mustang Jun 07, 2019 at 10:44 PM about the 2000 Ford Mustang Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2000 base model mustang and it
died going down the road. I put a new battery
and alternator on it but the light stayed on. All
connections are good and belt is not slipping
nor does it show any signs of wear. If I jump
the car it will start but will die eventually and
after a while won’t run at all without the
jumper box connected or recharging the
battery completely. I’m not sure what the
problem is but for some reason the alternator
isn’t charging the battery as I drive. I though
it may be a bad alternator so I took it back
and exchanged it but the problem is still
happening. Any and all help would be
appreciated. I don’t want to have to put the
car in a shop.

I’ve picked up a wiring schematic from auto zone for the charging system and I’ve got the check and make sure it’s not a lose wire somewhere in the circuit. Have you checked your body grounds? It’s also possible that the belt may be slipping without making a noise is what I’m told. Check the underside of it and make sure it doesn’t have a shiny glazed look to it
