Hello-
Need some help. I have a 2001 Hyster XL120 with a dual battery setup. I have replaced both batteries and the alternator.
When they key is in the "Off" position the alternator charging light stays on and won't go off.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe it is the regulator that is apart from the alternator mounted nearby.
The old alternators had no regulator mounted inside.

try disconnecting the small wires at alternator and see if light goes out , if it does your alternator should be checked out or replaced ?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
