soarer400 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 In my sc4, even if the car is running i get a battery light and engine could stop running if some electrical load is given. Gauges begin to dim, and so on. what is the first thing i could check here. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatingupblacktop Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well, since it's the batt light that's lit, you might start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
