It is a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis. I have replaced the battery the pos and neg terminals and put in a new alternator. Why is it my light comes on. My car completly died on the road.

Two should be used that are different but this one was common to melt and cross us inside ruining alternators once warranty voided if not replaced! Check both for heat damage or corrosion first, T (edit) you said you replaced pos and neg teminals which I think you meant at the battery? Not an immediate problem but if just cable ends and not whole cables those are almost always a temporary fix........
