Very likely an alternator problem; if the alt is not working soon the battery would be drained and the truck would shut off.

Will a bad oxygen sensor cause your battery light to flash?

Hi, I have had a intermittent check engine light that threw a code for an o2 sensor Took my 99 eclipse to the dealership to have car inspected and while driving there of course my cel and battery light appeared not at the same time within 3 minutes of each other. Battery light first then cel light. Dealership states that the o2 sensor was separated would this also cause a battery light to appear. Dealer is saying battery light is coming on because of computer but I just drove it home from the shop after replacing the o2 sensor mind you when I pulled in I had a battery light and check engine light on. Neither 2 lights appeared so I don't want to spend 800 plus on a computer if the o2 sensor could be the culprit of a battery light. Alternator and battery has been tested 4x know for a fact that it is not that!


Can a fuse cause the battery to not hold charge?

No, a fuse cannot cause a battery to not hold a charge. However a dead cell in the battery will cause it to run down overnight. Also there may be something on that is drawing power from the battery. Under-hood light, trunk light, dome light, glove box light, etc. Also a stuck relay will drain the battery.
