Battery and Bake light ON

Mitsubishi Montero Brake and Battery Warning lights ON.

Testing shows Faulty Alternator causing these problem.

NOW after replacing the alternator the vehicle is not just just one click when key is turned on to start.

SYMPTOMS NOTICED:-----------

• Battery and Brake warning light ON.
• With new alternator vehicle just clicks and no cranking.
• Bad Smell or rubber or belt burning.

Troubleshooting Details:----


If the alternator is aftermarket, there is a good chance it is your problem. Mitsubishi model does not get along well with aftermarket alternators as they usually last from a few days to a few months at best.
That's the difference between aftermarket and genuine branded parts.
Aftermarket parts are not bad parts,but there performance is weak as compared to original parts.

About the smell issue:---
It can be related to alternator or the other thing to be concerned about is the front camshaft seal.
These crankshaft seal is known to drip straight down onto the alternator, and especially in the case of aftermarket units, causing them to fail (in addition to smell) which is getting noticed.


Currently with no cranking, we can probably suspect that the battery was run down from the alternator failing.
Get the battery recharged or try with another working battery.OR the other option is to jump start the vehicle and see,if its running with Alternator and are the warning lights coming up on dash,which were coming up previously.



As per the details mentioned,it clearly indicates that problem is related to battery getting low and loosing its charge.The battery has lost its charge.Because before replacing the Alternator the vehicle was getting started with Battery and Brake warning lights on Dash.


It sounds like it could just be a case of a failed battery or even a loose connection on the battery cables (either at battery or alternator which is replaced).

If the battery is severely depleted, it will run on alternator power however the charging current will cook the battery (literally) and you will get a pungent burning odor as it pushes out hydrogen.

Getting both battery and alternator retested will help.

Thanks.

2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser: Battery and Oil Warning Light Comes ON?

Warning Light comes up on Dash and goes Off.And Again comes ON while driving and Goes OFF.

When both of these warning lights come on, this is very commonly a problem in the Charging System. There are few basic possibilities that are to be checked.

• This can be a loose connection at the battery, a battery that is not accepting a charge, or a faulty Alternator. 

To confirm the problem .........

• First check the connections at the battery and make sure they are tight, and do not have excessive build-up on them (The help  image is shown  below). 
• If the connection are tight, and look good, the battery and Alternator will need to be tested. 
• If you have access to a volt meter, you can quickly test these yourself. 

The testing procedure is as follows:-----------

• With the engine running, take a voltage reading at the battery terminals (see the help image shown  below). 

NOW,in the test .........

• If the voltage reading is not between 13.2-14.4v, the Alternator is the problem, and will need to be replaced. 
• If the Alternator passes this test, shut the engine off, and wait 15 minutes. With the engine off, take another reading at the battery terminals. If the voltage this time is anything less than 12v, the Battery is the culprit and will need to be replaced. 

IN case

• If you do not have access to a volt meter, most "big chain" parts stores, like AutoZone will run these test for you, for Free, right in their parking lot.

See the help diagram as follows :----

This details will help.

Thanks.

Ford Ranger Battery light stays steady ON?

In this cases,first inspect your car battery.Either battery terminals are dirty or not connected properly or battery charge got less. Less that 12 volts.

In most cases if the battery light is coming its not a bad battery but instead a failing alternator and in most cases the alternator will continue to charge but not allow the light to go off. If the PCM (computer) see the voltage on the yellow wire is below 4 volts or above 12.4 volts, it will turn the battery light on. If you are replacing the alternator then be sure to use the factory OE Ford alternator because after market alternators do not perform right and you will in most cases still have the battery light on.

In most cases the alternator will still charge ok but it can not turn the light off with the correct voltage to the PCM (computer) .If the PCM (computer) see the voltage on the yellow wire is below 4 volts or above 12.4 volts, it will turn the battery light on.

This will help.

Thanks.
