G-UNIT vts Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 my battery light keeps coming on when im driving my car occasionally has anyone got any ideas what the problem could be its not my battery connections Quote
kfk Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The battery light will normally come on when the system detects it isnt charging the battery. So assumng the battery is connected the alternator connection is secure and the engine has a good earth you going to need to get the system checked out. For an educated guess i'd say the alternators on its way out, but that is a guess and thats why i say you should get it checked. You dont want to spend your hard earned cash on an alternator if you only needed to tighten a connector up! Quote
