ive asked several people their opinions and i wanted to throw this to the nasioc community to see what i get.
while driving the battery light flickers and the brake light stays on.
leading to this, what happened is on a cold day i was on my way to drop off my car at the shop. and lately ive been having squeaky belts. but this day was different, it wouldnt really stop, so im driving, and the batt light and brake light come on. i was like, ill have it checked when i get the car back. so i get the car back and the battery is dead. i get a jump from the shop, and they said they tightened my belts and it took care of the squeaking and probably that was why i had the lights come on cuz the alternator wasnt charging the batt anymore.
but now im stilll getting the occasional batt and brake light more often than not.
some say it will go away when the system resets. some say get a new battery.
here is some mods related to the whole mess
-relocated battery to trunk with double 0 guage + and -
-optima yellow top battery
-some module to increase alternator output or load i forget
-lightened wheels crank pully alt
-new belts
any info or leads would be appreciated.
i figure i would have thrown a CE light before a brake light :)
