Default battery light is on!! help!!

my battery light is on for some odd reason,

my battery was replaced about 3 weeks ago and was on before that and is still on

i went to 2 local shops by my house and got the battery and alternator and both shops said they were good, what else could the problem be guys???

they tried to see if they could pull up any codes and everything came clear

tried going to the dealer and they said they cant do anything since i have a aftermarket headunit and a soung system

any advise?


PS: thanks for the help out guys

I can tell you that just because they tested them it does not mean they are good. I had this problem with my Integra a long time ago. Autozone tested my alternator and they said it passed the test when it really did not. One sure fire way to know if your alternator is no good is to remove your negative battery wire while the engine is ideling. If the engine shuts off your alternator is shot.
