I think it might be the same thing I suspect is wrong with my 93. It's called a mega fuse and it should be in line with the alternator but I'm not positive where, I'm trying to find it my self. But it's just a fusable link that bolts to two lugs somewhere near the fuse box under the hood. But the same thing is happening to mine, I got the alternator rebuilt and changed the battery and was fine for a couple weeks but it broke down on me last night. But the a/c thing, mine will kick off when it's tacking anything above idle.
Voltage Regulator?
Voltage regulator or loose wire.
Most likely the problem is your alternator....the battery light actually does not monitor battery condition, only the charging system. I'd check the voltage regulator and the fuses first. The fuses are the cheapest fix and the voltage regulator will run about 25% less than an alternator.
The ground cable, on the battery may need to be tightened or cleaned. The alternator voltage regulator may need to be replaced.
you may have a bad battery or a bad voltage regulator
Bad alternator not charging battery? Bad voltage regulator? Blown fusable link?
does the kia have a remote voltage regulator
The vehicle should ave a voltage regulator. If the battery and alternator are good then the regulator is most likely bad.
On most vehicles today the voltage regulator is built into the alternator. If that is the case then just replace the alternator. If the voltage regulator is external on your vehicle then replace the voltage regulator.
Defective alternator or internal voltage regulator is bad.
either the alternator or the voltage regulator are no good.may also be a bad battery
The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.
