dssnosher Posted June 4, 2007 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?

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