The red battery light indicates that the battery is not rceiving sufficient charge. Look for a loose belt or loose/dirty battery cable connection, or have the alternator and/or battery checked.
the battery is flat
It sounds like you have a break in the wire which connects your alternator to your battery, get it checked out.
should start up no problem as long as battery is in good condition.
if you meen NO LIGHT in the instrument pannel just check the battery, might be really dead
The battery is basicly used just to start your vehicle, the alternator is what generates your power once the vehicle is running. Which indicates you need a new battery, not an alternator. That is why you problem goes away after a jump start(boost). If it was the alternator the problem would not go away and your vehicle would have no lights and stall with no start. Either your battery is bad or the alternator is not charging.
disconnect the battery for a few minutes, reconnect and start it. if there is no problem, the light will stay off
1. Make sure your battery posts and connectors are clean. Free of acid & oxidation. If that doesn't work then.....- 2. Check for a draw on the battery ( something staying on like a trunk light). A good test is to buy a test light. Then disconnect your negative on the battery and put the test light in series. If the light comes on go to the fuse box and start pulling fuses until the light goes out. Then you know where the problem is. Johnny
Take off the negative battery cable and hook a test light in between the cable and the battery post. If you have a drain, the light will be on. Start pulling fuses until the light goes off and when it does go off, that is the thing that is draining the battery. If no fuses affect it, take the altermator wires off. If the light goes off then, the alt is bad,.
I means you have a battery problem or a starter problem or dirty/loose battery cable connections. If the battery is operating the starter and the starter is turning the engine over but the engine won't start and run, you may have a spark problem or a fuel problem.
Very likely an alternator problem; if the alt is not working soon the battery would be drained and the truck would shut off.
It started when the girl fiesta and the man fiest did it and made fiesta
have vehicle scanned for abs and air bag to diagnose problem.
