My battery light comes on every now & then. My battery is almost 2 years
old & I drive about 50 miles a week. Any reason for this??? Thanks! |

Ummmm, help us out here...under what conditions does the light come on? Does the motor seem like it wants to stall? Do your hear a squeaking or squealing noise? Does it only happen when it's raining? Could be a loose/worn belt, could be the alternator going flaky, could be a number of things. -- Where's my towel? |

your battery light comes on not because your battery isnt getting
charged but your not getting enough voltage....Thus your Alternator is on the blink...You dont even need a battery in the car after you start it and the light wount come on... Have your alternator checked before it goes out and you have to replace the alt and the battery...Also if your alt checks good take it to the dealer i think theere is a updated reprogram fo the PCM on this model s Cook 2000 CAVALIER Group: rec.autos.tech Date: Sat, Jun 4, 2005, 3:38pm (CDT+5) From: (Steve=A0B.)

While I agree with most of your post you definitely CANNOT disconnect the
battery and have the car keep running. Today's cars have a lot of electronics that need clean noise free power. The battery filters the noise from the alternator. Without the battery there is enough noise generated by the alternator to destroy the computer and most of the electronics.
