Your alternator is failing

THE 3.0L ENGINE YOU NEED TO TURN OFF RADIO FIRST TO KEEP LOCKING IT OUT.REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE.REMOVE THE RIGHT SIDE INTERMEDIATE AXLE SHAFT. REMOVE RIGHT SPLASH SHIELD AND RETAINERS REMOVE DRIVE BELT THEN REMOVE THE ALTERNATOR.WHEN INSTALLING NEW ALTERNATOR TORQUE ALTERNATOR BOLTS TO 35 FT LBS.

The battery light usually comes on when the alternator is not putting out sufficient voltage equal to or above the battery voltage. Sometimes the alternator can be generating enough voltage to make the light go out but not enough current to recharge the battery properly especially when driving at night with lights etc on. Eventually the battery will not have enough charge left to start the engine. The most common cause of low output is worn brushes but your description tends to suggest that the electronic regulator inside the alternator has an intermittent fault. An auto electrician will be able to diagnose the problem fairly quickly and probably offer to fit an echange unit.

It sounds like your alternator or battery is beginning to fail. An alternator may provide enough power at idle when there is a low power load. Once you activate the heat or AC, the load is too much for a defective alternator to support.

Adjusting the idle is not the solution. Not only will it mask the electrical problem, it will prevent you from stopping your vehicle safely.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Sounds like an air leak possibly, check all your vaccum lines that go into the intake manifold.

The light indicates that the battery is receiving insufficient charge voltage from the alternator. Take the car to an autoparts store and have the alternator output checked. Most parts stores will do the test for free. Sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.

u must pull the radio out and remove the top cover of the radio, under that u will find a tiny bulb socket just behind the display inside the radio, remove that twist in bulb socket and replace the miniature bulb, any parts store will have it.
