Hi guys,
Well, my problem is that "sometimes" not all the time, but usually most of the time, my batter light turns on whenever the car is running. It takes a few minutes or so for it to come on whenever it does turn on. So, my question is: What are the things that could cause this to happen? Also, what could I check myself? Being that I am not to familiar with the electrical components. Thank a bunch, -Toni -------------------- |

It was old, warn, loose, a little frayed too...basically it needed to be replaced. I knew it was going bad because it was squealing. (very annoying sound btw) If the belt is slipping its not charging the alternator. I had my alternator tested and it was fine, battery was also fine.
