why is battery light still on after changing the alternator and had the battery tested in a 2002 ford focus > [@jbwright003](#): > > I have a 2002 Ford Focus and I have been having electrical issues for a couple of years now. I’ve taken it to repair shops and no one can find anything wrong with it but of course they suggest changing the battery and alternator which I have done on 3 seperate occasions. > > > > The problem I am having now is that on cold mornings my car will not start. I’ll jump it, it will start, and it will be fine the rest of the day. The next morning the car will be dead once again. > > > > The battery was only 2 years old but I went ahead and bought a new one. Everything has been fine for the past couple of weeks but tonight when I put the car in park my check battery light came on for about 1 second went off and my car started sputtering. I had to keep pressing the gas pedal to keep the car from stalling. I went ahead and shut the car off and started it up again to see what would happen. Things seemed fine after that. > > > > Any thoughts to what might be going on? _[strong text](https://community.cartalk.com/t/battery-charger-or-battery-maintainer/16708)_ --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/electrical-problems-in-2002-ford-focus/45092)._
