View 6 RepliesLincoln - Continental :: Brake Light Comes / Stays On Until It Drains The Battery
Mom's 2002 Lincoln Continental has 80,000 miles. Recently she's noticed that after she exits the vehicle the brake lights will come on by themselves and stay on until it drains the battery. It has only done that once in her garage. It baffled us as to why her brand new battery was dead. We charged it and she drove it and it was fine. Where she works, she can see her car from her desk. Her brake lights just came on by themselves. How she remedies this is by going out and tap once on the brake pedal and light goes out and stays out. She only seems to notice it coming on right after she parks and gets out. Then, like I said, she can tap the brake pedal and make light go out and stay out.

The battery light in my well used 1997 Ranger came on a few weeks ago. Only use the truck on the weekends. Battery reads 12v. Alternator putting out 14v. Replaced terminal clamps as they were in bad shape. Light is still on.
Weak battery possibly? Does it need to read higher than 12v for the light to be off, I wonder?

I have a 2009 Camry LE and I just got oem 2010 SE wheels for it. Upon start up, the TPMS light flashes for a minute then goes steady and stays on.
I know there is a reset switch in the glovebox but would that fix it? I went from 16" steel wheels w/ hubcaps to 17" oem SE wheels.
Camry :: 2008 - Airbag Stays Off And Passenger Seatbelt Light Blinks
I have a 2008 Toyota Camry that have a airbag light that stays on after I start my car and drive. However my passenger airbag stays off and the passenger seatbelt light blinks even when there's nobody sitting in the seat. When Someone does sit in the passenger seat with a seatbelt on, the light continues to blink along with the Airbag light showing off. How can I resolve this without going to the dealership?
View 2 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Idling At Startup Make Truck Deliver Power Smoother / Battery Light Stays Off
I would like to know what's happening, it seems as if idling for a minute to let my transmission temperature dial raise past the lowest line on the dial fixes or at least drastically reduces a couple issues.
The truck will deliver power much smoother off the line. I've been concerned about this for a while. The degree to which it happened wasn't constant but it seems like the truck is having trouble grabbing on (so to say) to the power coming off the line. I sort of liken it to a rope. When I give it the beans the rope goes forward but it takes a half a second or so for the truck to "grab" on to the rope. Never hard shifts, it's just delivering the power off the line or from a near stop.
Idling for a minute seems to fix this, power delivery is smooth off the line. Transmission dipstick was nice and pink but smelled slightly burnt. This is with the engine cold overnight. Didn't have time to do multiple wipes or check in the handbook for the proper methods of checking fluid, I just pulled it out quickly to take a look before heading out. Fluid covered the whole tip.
Second issue that seems to be fixed is that the battery light doesn't come on nearly as much and not for nearly as long. Typically the battery light will come on and off seemingly on its own whim during the drive. However, it seems to stay more consistently off if I idle right after startup.
Now bear in mind I baby my truck, I don't rev it high right after startup. Just low enough to cruise around the parking lot until I hit the road then I accelerate up to 40 - 60 depending on my route. I'd gladly give it the minute to warm up in the future but if I could get down to the bottom of this that'd be preferred, I doubt this is required behavior.
I do realize that these issues are not tied to startup behavior but I find it interesting that idling for a minute at startup to let the transmission gauge rise seems to mitigate these symptoms.
Chevrolet - S-10 :: 2001 - Check Gauges Light Stays On And Oil Pressure Gauge Stays At 0
I have a 2001 Chevy S10 4.3L. The CHECK GAUGES light stays on, and the oil pressure gauge stays at 0. The oil is full, and the engine runs and sounds fine. I drove it about 5 miles with no change. Up until now, the gauge has worked normally. Could it be the sending unit?

The battery light came on today in my 2007 v6 camry. I'm taking it to autozone to test the battery and the alternator. Could it be anything besides one of these two things? How hard is the alternator to replace?
View 3 RepliesCamry :: 2002 V6 Battery Light Came On At Low RPMs
2002 Camry, V6, Auto
Failure description: Battery light came on at low RPM's, under 1k, about 30 miles from home last night. Highway driving for the majority. About mile 25 abs, airbag and brake lights flash on the dash, shortly after it looks like radio is struggling to stay powered. Mile 28 pull off high way. Car struggles to idle. Dash is acting erratic (tach and speedo also now) and it looks like the battery is dying. Mile 29 battery dies. I was able to get a new battery and get the last mile so to home. Still struggled to not die at low RPMs.
The mileage is roughly right but also more tied to the chronology of how things progressed. My gut feel is it could be the alternator - I'll get the multimeter on the car when I get home and see how it's behaving. However I'm surprised it wasn't able to run okay with a new battery, at least for the short distance. What things I should check/measure once I get into it aside from the alternator?
Camry :: 2007 LE - Battery Light Came On / Low On Voltage
i have a 2007 toyota camry LE, around 55,000 miles I wanted to install LED's under the dash on both driver and passenger sides using a tap-a-fuse adapter.. I tried tapping a fuse using the CIG lighter on the engine compartment.. it didn't work.. but i noticed after i failed the battery light came on.. then I checked all the fuses.. they were all fine. I got it checked by one mechanic he said its an alternator issue.. i now have 78,000 miles on the car and had no issues with the battery, start ups, or anything. I did however get a battery test and i was a little low on voltage but till this day i still have the battery light on but my car runs perfectly fine. Can it be a code issue?
View 5 RepliesCamry :: Battery Light Turning On When Car Started
I have a duralast alternator installed in my I4 07 Camry since my OEM died. Unfortunately this was the only alternator I could get my hands on at the time. Recently I had this issue when I would start the car the battery light turns on. I would shut off the car and start it again the light disappears. I made sure all battery related equipment are screwed on tight. Also as I am starting the car the battery light dimly flickers. What could cause these issues. The battery is brand new and alternator is a few months, but autozone tested it and said it is good.
View 11 RepliesCamry :: 2005 LE Battery Light Has Been Coming On Intermittently
2005 Camry LE 4 cylinder, 141K miles.
For 6 months the battery light has been coming on intermittently, sometimes not coming on for two to three days and then does it again every so often during the fourth day and so on. Until recently, it's gone a record 6 days without coming on.
However, today it's stayed on all day. Usually, when it does come on, it will go back in in a minute or two. I'd gotten used to it, since the car has always started like nothing is wrong. However, tonight the ABS light came on with the battery light, then the Safety Bag light came on. Then, the radio died, clicking, static, then just dim light, The clock dimmed when the headlights were on, and the headlights weren't as bright as they should be. Stopped the car in a parking lot. Wouldn't not start again, but the dash would come on.
Got a jump and the car started up fine, but there wasn't enough power getting to anything to make the car do much of anything. The car didn't seem to have enough power to send to the transmission to shift, pressing the brake pedal made the dash go black.
Sat a while, got the car to start again, with a fight. Enough power to shift getting to the transmission, but quickly all the lights started coming on one by one again, and none of the lights were bright as they should be. Back to square one.
Just the battery? Replaced the alternator a year ago, when it killed the last battery. The current battery is a year to 13 months old.
