Battery light illuminated

This may have been asked a million times and I even searched for it but found now thread.

2002 7.3L.

New batteries and new alternator

alternator charging at 14.5 volts. Battery light on dash stays on constantly.

How do I get it to go out?

Thanks in Advance.

based on other similar posts, might be broken alternator wiring, so check all the wires.

the "broken" wire is usually the fusible link that is at the solenoid on the inner fender, the other typical alternator wiring fault is the plug into the alternator, not the charge wire but the connector, since your alternator was recently changed that means that connector was unplugged and that is what usually causes them to fail.
