My battery light has been on for 6 months but car starts fine, so decided to replace the main battery (under the front seat) but stone light is still on. I have checked that the alternator is working

check feul filter it under passingers seat under car

try your starter and your couil packs

Look up under each wheel housing and then under the rear tail light. It might also be placed under the front of the seat.

You need to take the car to Main Dealer, you may also need to Check the car is case it draining the battery (

Try replacing the Flasher Relay. It has 2 relays, one for the turn signals and one for the hazard lights. The one for the turn signals is located Front seating area, driver side, under dash, behind instrument panel, mounted on passenger side of steering column.
The hazard flasher is located Front seating area, driver side, under dash, above kick panel, mounted in top of convenience panel.
Replace the Turn signal flasher.

Sounds like either:-
1) a loose or poor connection on the main +12V supply feed, (check fusible link or in line 'Maxi' fuse connections to main fuse panel.
or
2) a loose or poor ground connection between the battery and chassis.
Check all ground bus's for corrosion or looseness.

sounds like you blew a main fuse, you have to check under dash and hood. don't let cars sit, its the worst thing you can do.

the battery is located under the rear seat, check battery connections. if connections are tight replace starter.

Hi, I have had similar intemittent dead\low battery problems with my 2008 CDX+.

The garage could never find anything wrong with the charging system, battery or drain. I bought a replacement battery, jump start power pack, battery tester and battery charger, in total costing hunders of pounds in an attempt to resolve the problem.

I was on the point of selling it when one day I heard the roof mounted DVD player making noises when I hadn't switched it on (I never switch it on). After disconnecting it the car started perfectly for months. After reconnecting it the issue came back, however I could never recreate the problem at the dealership as it was intermittent, and they had it for days. Eventually the DVD player took in a disc and refused to eject it. This was enough to have it replaced under warranty. Unfortunately the new one took about 4 months to come in and I have never recieved my disc back.

The new DVD player seems to have helped, however I can still report that in the 6 months or so since fitting I have had one of the new overhead bulbs blow and the battery has been dead on 2 occassions. The last occassion was yesterday and we had driven the car fine the day before.

I now carry the power pack in the car at all times, however as this is my wife's car she is concerned about being stranded with our new baby. My thoughts have once again turned to changing cars (new diesel auto crv 2010?) which is a shame as the Santa Fe ticks the boxes in so many other areas.

Hope this helps. ?

bad ground to battery main terminal..check and advise
