I just replaced my radiator. I had a friend do it. Now my battery light known as the volt light is coming on. I replaced the battery and had the car checked out. All good. Now the light is on again. Please help?

The light is not an indicator of a battery problem. It's an indication of a charging system problem. Check to verify that all the wires were put back onto the alternator. I wouldn't be driving it because the battery is going to die soon.

The alternator passed the inspection when I took it to the shop?
