Hi guys, just recently did the headgasket on my mates 5th gen with a 3sge, ran fine, idling a little low but is running good until yesterday while driving the battery light comes on along with what im guessing is the overheating light looks like:
sss
=[]=

The 's'es are supposed to be squiggly lines.

No engine codes, serpentine belt isnt broken, as far as i can see all the pulleys are turning...

Any ideas??

Also the light that looks like the car with lights on is on.

its your alternator dieing, the other lights come up because they rely on seeing 12v+ which obviously your alternator isnt putting out. replace that alternator before you get stranded somewhere.
