Battery Problem


Recommended Posts

Replaced battery twice under warranty. It was raining yesterday so had to turn on the wipers & music. Was looking for parking and stopped completely (still on D) and the battery light came on. Windows would slowly roll down, wipers would work half of speed. I started speeding up and everything went normal, stopped - same thing. Battery lasts 15 min when car is off and music is playing. Mechanics say everything seems to be ok - generator provides power and charges battery. Any ideas?

Replace the neg. ground cable from your battery to the frame. It is shorting out from corrosion.

But why would battery light come on while I'm driving when power is supplied from generator ?

Double check all the connections. The cables could have breaks in them under the insulation.
