Got any clues? ← None of these lights should be coming on unless they are running thin or empty. How thin are your pads, and have you checked out your oil level?

Gumart1 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yes, it is possible that the culprit is the alternator, even with your replaced bushings. Do you have any (possibly hidden) power steering leaks onto the alternator? Take it to Autozone and have them test the charging system for free. That will at least eliminate this potential culprit. That's exactly how mine went out, had a bunch of display lights for awhile and then they eventually went dim and that was the end of the alternator.

calean007 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I've had some slow leaks on the power steering unit. Well, I guess I'm going to have to get the lines replaced...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
