the light comes on when the alternator is bad or your regulator has gone bad. some regulators are built into the computer.

Hi. I recently had a problem similar to this on my Vectra, where all my display dropped to zero and the battery light glowed very brightly. I took it to a garage and they diagnosed a faulty alternator, Which wasn't cheap but I've not had any problems since.' *I have had just these same symptoms come on suddenly while driving an astra,mine turned out to be the battery failing with an internal short circuit.When I switched off it was all dead.If the vectra can start up and run after experiencing the loss of amps ,then the alternator is the most likely.

What does opel vectra mean in english?
The Opel Vectra is a car that was produced from 1988 to 2009. "Vectra" may be meaningless, having been chosen purely to sound good, as many car names are. However, some have theorized that "Vectra" comes from a form of "vehere", the Latin word for "travel" or "transport".
