1 Answers
Solutions for when the car battery warning light comes on: 1. Pull over to the side of the road, turn off the engine, and switch off all electrical appliances and lights in the car to reduce battery power consumption; 2. Open the engine hood and check whether the generator drive belt is loose, broken, or slipping; 3. Inspect the generator's wire connections for looseness, which may cause poor contact; 4. Check the battery terminals. If they are loose or corroded, clean the terminal clamps inside and out, then tighten them to see if it resolves the issue. The battery warning light is symbolized by the shape of a battery. If the light turns red while the engine is still running normally during a drive, it indicates that the generator is not charging the battery, and you should immediately stop to inspect the situation.
