Please help... i was just on the gas station and when i drove away from their, i noticed that the batteri sign was ligthing red... what can it be?


First thing to look for is a missing alternator drive belt.

Very true..... Been there done that got the broken belt to prove it.

More likely would be a loose belt. Well if the belt were gone, the second thing to look for is coolant gushing into the overflow tank as the engine overheats because the water pump isn't spinning. Will happen in about 5-10 minutes.

Otherwise, if battery light stays on (and car doesn't overheat), have the charging system and battery checked out.
