Hey,

I just got my battery charged up and put it back in, but the battery light on the front panel is still on...????? any reason why it should be ...??

Also the indicator which shows ur parking breaks are on, is lit...?? but I made sure that the breaks were down......

I dunno.....does anyone know why this is so...??

 

Check your ground wires but it's more than likely your alternator.

I had a similar problem and it was a faulty alternator which wouldn't recharge the battery.

 

yeah thats what I intially thgt it was, but I remember a couple of months back the lights were on and after like an hour or so of driving they went off.....

thanks for the advice though....

 

Also if I was to have a faulty alternator....do u think that the car would start up at all...????

 

OK..after reading around the net enough times, I am fairly certain that its the alternator that is faulty. Anyway has anyone chnaged the alternator themselves, if so do you have links to any set of directions that I need to follow. And lastly how much do you think it should cost me to get one rebuilt (before I get ripped off from the auto store).

Thanks a lot for all the help.

 

Jbr I like your max, looks real nice

 

This could either be a faulty alternator or a slipping belt. A slipping belt you might say? Yes a slipping belt. Any current below normal or any fluxuation in current, for that matter, will set off the Battery Light.

As for the parking break light, I dunno what to tell ya.

 

hmm, im having about the same problem,

brake light is on, and battry light is very dim

all bulbs and stuff are ok, idk what it is, altnator seems to be fine

 

slipping belt eh!!!! yeah I didnt think of that....thanks...

 

you can get a new one for like 150.....I just replaced mine and it was $75 cost, but I have a resale license

 

i had the same problem with my max but the lights never came on until i had used the brakes or turned on the radio otherwise the lights wouldnt go on at all.. but over all i believe its ur alternator...
