Okay so the problem is, from the beginning, I was driving down the freeway and my battery light came on. So I pulled over and my car died. Mdot jumped it and I made it home. Found out it was my alternator. But also found out that I had a bad ground. So replaced the ground then replaced the alternator. After replacing the alternator, my battery light is still on. Not only that but it’s having a slightly rough idle and when you rev the RPMs past 3500, the engine light comes on (I’m not sure what happens or how it runs with engine light on), when I turn the key into accessory the engine light will stay solid for about 30 seconds then flash about 8 times then stay solid, But when I disconnect the battery and reconnect it, engine light goes off and doesn’t come back on until rpms go past 3500 battery light is still on and still slight rough idle. Also, when idling, my power steering doesn’t work. Like if I’m driving and stop at a stop sign, my power steering goes out and comes back immediately when I take off. Revving engine does not make it come back. (My power steering is electronic). Also my rear hatch will not open.
None of this was ever a problem before the alternator went out and was replaced. I read somewhere that I would have to have something electronically reset at the dealership? Any help is genuinely appreciated.
