My battery light is on on 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 I’ve replaced the alternator and the battery and it’s still on. Any tips on what it could be?

Take it to an auto store and have them check battery, charging system and also under a load, and report back.I do not know what the voltage is at while running. I’m not really a car person. I just purchased this in an as is deal from a used car dealership.

Truck died on my way to oreillys. All my warning lights came on then the truck shut off. Could it be a bad regulator on the alternator? I bought a remanufactured alternator.

I think his 2012 doesn't have the IBS fuse,i think that didn't come into play until 2013 ,when the trucks were revamped.IBS which is on the negative battery terminal? Just a $0.02 guess.

OP go get yourself one of these old school toaster style battery testers,and test your battery yourself. The newer digital testers aren't as good at testing a battery as these old guys are.
