[RESOLVED] battery light , park light and other light

[Levesque]

Okay here's the situation.

MY check engine light is always on because of my 02 sensor..

the problem is , when i go driving sometime the park brake , battery and ( some yellow light that looks like a filter ) pops up. some times there solid. When i press on the gas they dim and come back after i let go of the gas.

Today they stayed on for good.


I'm thinking alternator?


any other options ?

Your alternator was dying, now it's completely dead, replace it before you drive the car again unless you like walking.

well not sure if this is the cause or what. But my dipstick pop out and theres full of oil on the alternator.

That other light would be your water pump light, like he said your alternator is going

i heard they die alot tho of where there placed, since there right next to the downpipe.

Heat will cause an alternator to fail faster however plently of people run downpipes or wastegates right next to the alternator so..

This may sound silly, but make sure your terminals on your battery are connected, I had a problem with my negative popping off and resting on it, so every time it wasn't touching I was running off the alt. (really bad).
