93 Accord battery light question

Sep 06, 2006 2 Replies

my battery light went on briefly and off while driving. a/c was not on, fan was not on, only running light on. no other signs of problems.



this have been happenning a few times over the last year.



anyone can give me an idea as what to look for ? thanks


Lotsa miles? May be time for brushes in the alternator. bob

The battery icon on this warning light misleads. It's actually a warning light for the alternator/charging system. Like Bob said, the first suspect is the alternator brushes. Has this car ever had the brushes or the whole alternator replaced?
