i have a question i have the battery light in the dash on ! the alternator is working fine , any ideaS?

its probably a sign that the alternator is starting to go on you. Try removing the battery terminals with your headlights on and see if it turns off.

i done that and is working and chargin perfect ! its rare but is working good charges the battery 100 % if i disconect both plugs from the alternator the light still on as well

 

[cano86]

How is your alternator belt did you check to see if its strech

 

[alexrc]

yes the tension is good as well , im runing out of ideas here , could be ground issue ?

 

[cano86]

You might have to check that out it just might be a ground. Have you checked the fuses

 

[alexrc]

all the fuses are good as well the relays

I just checked something in google and someone had a similar problem and he said it was the voltage regulator I dont know what is that I will keep searching and any news I'll post up

Have you just installed anything electrical on your car in the past month?

Back in the original F&F days I used to have a set of LED Streetglow's under my car, and one of the wires was cut accidentally and then spliced back. A little while later it grounded out my whole car during a rainstorm.

Battery light is an early indication that there is some kind of irregularity in the charging system.

Your going to want to get a Multimeter and check the voltage's near the starter, fuses and battery when the car is off and again when its on.

 

[alexrc]

will do and keep you post it

Hi I'm rather new to this form but a battery light could be the voltage regulator which is located in the ecu. I no this because i had this problem i had to get a new ecu to fix the problem. But do u have a voltage tester of any kind if so hook it up. i also noticed that the temp gage was reading rong because i was getting 17+ volts when the voltage regulator went in my ecu. hope this helps peace munk
