dssnosher Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would battery light come on while I'm driving when power is supplied from generator ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
