I just recently picked up a 92 notchback. I put a new battery in the car when I bought it and I noticed that the battery light on the cluster is staying on.
I have drove the car a few times and let it idle a ton and I even tested the alternator by taking it to a local advance and getting them to test it. It was putting out right at 15 volts. So my question is this basically.
Can the alternator be charging the battery fine and the battery light still be on in the cluster? I also have zero light in the cluster when I turn the headlights on.
I was thinking that if the alternator wasn't charging the battery that I wouldn't have been able to drive and start the car as much as I have without the battery dying.................
