alternator is going out Or the belt is slipping
Get the alternator checked before your battery goes dead.
The battery light coming on in your Town and Country minivan means that the alternator needs to be replaced. The alternator charges the battery and if it goes bad it will not charge the battery.
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,.
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alt belt.
Turn on any light in the car, if the light gets very dim or goes out you have a bad (or discharged) battery. Its remotely possible that the terminal connections on the battery are corroded or dirty.
"The only time the charge battery light goes off is when you press the gas" is the classic symptom of a loose or very well worn belt.
either the battery is bad or there is an electrical draw in the car. a simple test to check for a short or draw, with a hot battery in the car remove either battery cable but only one place a test light one end on the battery and the other on the removed cable if the test light glows for a second or 2 this is normal , if it glows steady there is a draw in the car , remove the fuses one at a time until the test light goes out , once the light goes out this is the circuit where the problem is located . if the light never goes out then it is most likely bad diodes in the alternator. happy hunting.
It goes to whatever is connected to the battery. For example, if you connect a light bulb to the battery, the energy goes into the light bulb.If the battery slowly drains its power, without any connected load - as batteries tend to do - then internal processes in the battery will ultimately convert the energy into heat, which will quickly go into the environment. In other words, the energy is wasted.
There is not an alternator indicator light on a Honda Pilot. If the alternator goes out, the battery will not stay charged.
Check your alternator, load test the battery, and if all else, just ignore it until the light stays on full time.
hot wire on the timing light goes to pos. side of the battery and the neg. side of timing light goes to ground on the engine someplace and then the plug clip goes on the #1 spark plug wire.
