Battery Light, Comes on.. Options

[cibrit-]

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's probably something to do with the 10a fuse going to the alternator where there should be a 7.5a. It could be causing a problem inside the voltage regulator in the alternator.

Whoever put in that jumper wire needs to actually figure out where the problem is in the wiring between the eng main relay and the alt fuse instead of just bypassing the problem. Trying to hide an issue like that always creates more problems.
