Battery light wont go out but battery is charging
My tercels battery light won’t go out but my battery is charging. I can find nothing wrong with the charging the battery ans alternator is new. Could it maybe be the ic regulator?

Check the battery voltage while it's running at idle in neutral. If its above 15 volts, the light can come on to warn you that the battery is suffering.

What is an IC regulator?
There are two types of alternators for these cars: internally and externally regulated. Most of them are internally regulated. I have heard of people accidentally putting in the wrong type of alternator and having problems from that. Could that be a possibility here?
