What to do when the dashboard battery indicator turns red?
1 Answers
The red battery indicator on the dashboard means the engine is not generating electricity. The solutions are: 1. Check if the battery terminals are oxidized - clean and polish them if necessary, then reinstall and test. Oxidation can sometimes prevent battery charging; 2. Inspect whether the battery's positive and negative cables show signs of looseness. Reasons for the red battery indicator include: 3. Damaged battery; 4. Faulty generator rectifier bridge causing uncontrolled voltage output; 5. Broken generator belt, damaged generator, or fractured positive/negative cables; 6. Electrical leakage in vehicle equipment may also trigger the indicator light, though with weaker brightness.
