Alternator light is on

[partiesplayin]

Okay so read carefully please before you make your responses.

I cant figure this out , the alternator light also related to the water pump in some way light is on after the car starts but the alternator is charging the battery, and serveral minutes 5 or so after driving the light goes out. What could be causing this

ive tested the relays and fueses related to the alternator

And could this prolbem in any way be related to lip mode on my 91 eagle talon awd turbo automatic ?>



Thanks,

the alternator light? or the little cage looking yellow light? if its the little cage light its saying you don't have enough coolant in your reservoir.

yea when its a charging issue, your battery birdcage and check engine light should come on. chances our you where a little low on coolant and it pulled all the coolant out of the reservoir when it was turned off. then when you turn it back on as it heats up and pressurizes the coolant goes into the reservoir causing the light to turn off. If you fill it back up to the line and your coolant is filled to where it should be in the car itself and it keeps happening there could be a different issue.
