This same thing happened to me. The battery light would come on but my car would run fine then a few days later my engine started overheating and it turned out the fan belt had went. Once i replaced the fan belt everything was fine.
MAYBE IT COULD BE A BAD SENSOR. IF IT IS RUNNING GOOD I WOULD JUST IGNORE IT.
its the alternator if the car is running with a battery light on. but check fuses first
If your engine is running , and the battery light comes on , that indicates that your battery is not being charged
battery light on 2000 f250 will blink if battery is not properly charged. an example is if you have been sitting all day with stereo olaying and engine not running, you have run battery down some. after starting engine and driving, the battery light will blink while alternator charges until battery is fully charged i have only experienced this at night when lights are on creating extra load for alternator ,after running battery down with stereo all day
battery's and light sorce
That your engine is not running.
That light doesn't mean that your battery needs to be replaced. It means that your battery is not being charged while the car is running. Have your alternator tested.
That would be short for "generator" light. If that light is on while the engine is running, the charging system is not working and you are running off of battery power only.
If your 1997 Mercury Tracer has a battery light that blinks on and off while the car is running, it most likely means that the battery is not charging. This could be an issue with your alternator.
That would be short for "generator" light. If that light is on while the engine is running, the charging system is not working and you are running off of battery power only.
Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing or something is on pulling power from the battery.
That it needs to be charged or is running out of battery.
