I have a 2000 Legacy the check engine light keeps coming on. The last time I took it to the dealer they said that it was the code for the alternator and if the light came on again with the same code, I would need a new alternator. So the light is on again, but I can't believe that any thing so major would be wrong with my car because it runs fine and isn't making any funny noises or anything. Is there anything else that could cause this to happen (I recently left one of my interior lights on for a couple of hours and I am slightly over my oil change miles) and are there any symptoms of a bad alternator I should be looking out for?
