battery light coming on

[wally05]

Guys, I'm about to go do some testing, but is there anything on these cars that has a tendency to go out? My battery light slowly starting pulsating today. I'm going to check some connectors and such and get back to you guys.

there is a fuse under the hood, check to see if thats loose, sometimes it gets overlooked... also look to see that the power connections to the high current box arent loose

Thanks for the reply, man. The alternator seems to be dead, so I'm replacing it. I was going to do it anyway b/c it was starting to act quirky. Is it hard to do on these cars?

It's really very easy. Take off the belt, a few bolts and disconnect the wires and it's out. I think the hardest part is getting the belt back on!

Well, actually, it was 4 bolts plus the grounding nut on the back. And, I had to remove the idler pulley and battery. But, it was easier than I thought. It works fine now!

Exactly (well, and the plug on top)! I just got done doing the same thing. Reinstalled my alternator tonight and all is good.
