drove the car this morning, the battery light still flickers and stays on for periods of time. Also the red light under the 7 on the rev counter comes on when i hit about 3 thousand revs. Its so annoying. Anyone? | |

lol its below the 7 on the rev counter, and came on when i went high in the revs or when i put my foot down. weird hey. Hopefully its sorted, im not so sure - cos the same symptoms occured when i put the new battery in. maybe if i leave the car idle for a while the new battery will sort itself out and battery light will disappear :boggle: | |

The figure of a person light is a seatbelt light or an airbag light :boggle: | |

just went out in the car and ragged it a bit. the battery light faded and went out. yeh worked fine with full beam and stereo on etc. Could it be something to do with the fact that ive put a new battery in and some sort of recharging process is happening for this light to come on? also on the rev counter near the '7' the red light used to come on when i went high on revs (the light looks a figure of a person in a seat) this was before i changed the battery however. | |

14 volts means the battery is charging... Battery wouldn't charge if the alternator was broke... er.... | |

just been outside checking the volts, it starts at 12, then goes up to 14 so the alternator isnt buggered? what could be the problem, maybe the alternator is on the way out? i havent a clue. my gfs dad knows quite a bit about cars apparently just need a rough idea about what the problems are? thanks 1800ed very helpful! | |

right ive changed the battery for my car, as the battery light was flicking and stayed on. However it still flashes and stays on. I think its the alternator, how much would a new alternator cost and how much in labour?what do people think? thanks John :( |
