Youre not. youre going about 2 KM an hour, and you have seen the guy 4 cars up with his flasher on for a while. I would let the guy pass, if I saw that.

Im talking about traffic only, if theres no traffic, its all good, I wait for the chance to pass, if need be.

Around here people leave their blinkers on all the time, so it's possible they figured that you did the same.
I doubt it's the battery because it wouldn't start if this was the case. Roger had a good suggestion though.

😀

Heheh, its not too bad around here. People dont use them at all instead.

Ill check it out tonight, Could it be my alternator is dying?

My sub amp takes a lot of power, keep that in mind, but now it goes on even when the music is off....

Started yesterday, had my music on, and the light suddenly turned on for like 10 seconds and shut off, did it today, especially when shifting from 2nd to 3rd

Any ideas?

Thanks Ill look in it tonight also

It's possible that your alternator is going bad, and it could be the cars computer shutting the car off because the draw is too low. Although, Synchronizer's (Roger's) suggestion is much more likely, and I don't think he likes you very much lol.

With the key removed from the ignition, disconnect and clean both battery terminals until shiny lead is exposed, also disconnect the the RED lead to the alternator and clean the connection well.
Once this is done, check and adjust the alternator belt tension.

Nice to see you back Roger.

You got banned?

 

[Oger]

You got banned?

Me ?

NO, I could not take the constant attacks so I left and had my original account "Roger" wiped from existance.
Now I'm back, if the sh!t starts again with the personal attacks, I will leave, never to come back.

you're a fvcking retard

 

[WarDemon666]

Is it dangerous to drive around w/ the light going on and off though? Could I lose power completely?

 

[WarDemon666]

UPDATE:

The red light is ALWAYS on now, im getting scared. I have to drive an hour to get back home to fix the problem.

Should I take the risk?

Everything in the car is off right now, i looked in the manual, and it says the light comes on if the charging system is not functioning.

What could I do to fix it?

Thanks!

Yes, you should go, by all means.
