Sometimes you have to drive the car at least 3-4 miles at least 35mph to reset the ECM. Not always, but sometimes..The ECM has to reset itself, and get rid of the old codes.
You might want to get a scan to see why the engine light is on. it would be unusual to burn the fusible links, but that's about all that could stop the alternator from charging. The links are along the wires from the battery to the alternator.

When the Check Engine light comes on that means that the computer in your Explorer has set Diagnostic trouble codes and stored them in the computers memory.After all repairs are made to all D.T.C. The codes need to be erased from your computer, this resets the Check Engine Light, and it should not come on again untill the computer finds another falt.Good Luck.
