So today I was putting on a new battery terminal. Well I ended up busting my

Check the charging rate. Put a volt meter meter across the Pos and Neg terminals. On charging the volt meter should read 13.5 volts.

When battery light comes on nine times out of ten the alternator has stopped charging and needs to be replaced other one percent blown alternator fuse or wiring problem.
