Have the codes read anyway. Turn the key on, do you see a check engine light? We work on auction cars also. To many times I see that the light is not on.
Sounds like a wire was not re-installed under the hood. When the alternator or battery were replaced, there are several power wires under the hood that attach to the same power terminal. Look for a RED wire with a large round connector, that is just hanging out in the open air. You need to install it back onto the post that it came off of. good luck.
My 2003 warning light frequently goes on after going down a long hill. The dealer has tested, and thinks that it is related to the traction battery being overcharged or overheated after a long hill. Doesn't seem to affect performance and the the problem clears up after turning the car on and off several times. If you have no power when you accellerate, it suggests that the electric motor has cut out some how, until the problem is cleared up. Would be interested in finding out what your solution was.
Your owners manual should have a description of the symbol. It means the battery power is low and you only have engine power - so take it easy as long as the warning symbol is present.
the alternator is a doodle to change ,when you know how ?? was it a new recon unit or a secondhand scrapyard job---- check for power to teh large terminal the start engine and disconnect neg battery terminal if engine stops alternator fault ,if engine keep running but red light still on then its warning light control fault which is built into alternator so change alternator .
replace brake peddleswitch first, if that dont cure, replace the throttle peddle switch, and if that dont worrk replace the reverse switch on gear box and the forward detector switch for the hill desent. as for the oil warning light it can only be one of three things , ie low oil, bad wiring or switch and last the worst of all oil pump failure.
It depends on what warning light is on! In any case, from your description and experience, it would be your engine 'Oil' warning light: it comes on when there is not enough lubrication (thus the overheating) flowing because of low oil pressure: immediately check your oil leveland top up as required) and make sure that change your oil and oil filter as soon as possible as it is a very damaging condition and the engine could seize. Hope it helps: let me know hoe you go.
Is the alternator charging?
