    Battery Light on. Alternator?

    With the car running the voltage on the battery is 17+. Is there a built in voltage regulator in these alternators that could go bad? or is it something else. Obviously the car fires right up but I am getting all kinds of lights flashing like airbag, lamp lights, and of course the battery light...

    Battery Light on. Alternator?

    Yesterday as I parked my 93 atx I noticed that the battery light came on. I immediately did some battery maintenance. Cleaned the terminals, connectors and tested the battery and it is just fine. The car fires right up at start without the battery light turning on. Once I start driving, it turns...

    Any shops in the cities?

    I did a search and I guess it may be the MFS. I did turn my hazards on and off and that seems to somehow cause the no turn signal problem. Dimmer lights and the wipers still work fine tho... It is just the hazards and the turn signals that do not work now.

    So I got a chance to take a look last night and after testing the alternator and battery with the volt meter, everything read okay. I cleaned the snot out of the battery connections and that seemed to be the problem. The only thing that didnt come back was the turn signals. Where is the fuse for...

    Complete loss of power? 93 ATX

    I hooked up the battery and alternator to my handy dandy volt meter and everything read normal. I then cleaned up all of the battery connections and that seemed to do the trick. The only thing that isnt working still is the turn signals. I drove the car to work this morning and it ran fine with...

    Complete loss of power? 93 ATX

    Thanks for the advice. I will do that tonight when I get some time. I did price out an alternator and they are $188 around here so more spendy that I thought they were...

    Any shops in the cities?

    Whiteman, nice to know there is someone else that likes the SHO's in our neck of the woods. I am pretty sure my problem right now is the alternator. I cant find a howto on the 3.2 but I see some for the v8 sho's. Not sure how much of a pain it is. If your willing to come out, I of course would...

    New alternator doesnt explain the turn signals not working. Where is the fuse for turn signals?

    Complete loss of power? 93 ATX

    Yeah if I jump the battery, it runs until I turn the car off again and then goes dead so I can get it somewhere. Is there anything to putting a new alternator in these cars? I have done one on VW's a few times and it isnt a hard install on them. I have a battery charger at home so Ill pull the...

    Any shops in the cities?

    I am looking for a shop in the cities or anyone that knows there way around a SHO. I picked up a 93 ATX and wanted to have it looked at by someone that knows a bit more about them than me. (once over or post purchase inspection) Car only has 84K on it but has been sitting for a while and I just...

    I was kinda thinking alternator but did want to put any ideas out there until I heard someone else say it as I am not extremely familiar with the SHO.

    Complete loss of power? 93 ATX

    Drove my car fine to work and at lunch. Went to start it after work and got nothing. no crank, no electrical power at all. Had a buddy jump me and the car started so I drove it straight home. Turn signals did not work for the ride home and the panel for the climate would flash all on every once...
