Was doing some sliding in the parking lot, and my battery light came on!
Car still starts right up with no problem.

I pulled off the terminals and cleaned the posts and the terminals.
Any ideas on to why the battert light came on????

SEARCH FUNCTION IS NOT WORKING

not good. get a multimeter and make sure the battery is charging. take it to vato zone and have them check for you. otherwise your alternator took a shit, or the plug that goes to it may be damaged.

This happened to me once when my alternator/water pump belt broke on me....

I hooked up my battery charger to the battery and right away it was showing it had a 100% full charge...

Im going to take the car to my friends house to check how many volts the Alt is putting out.

your alternator is quitting. in a couple days your c ar will die and leave you stranded.

oh and if it says right away that its a 12v charge thats not a good enough test.

just cause your alt will give you a 12v charge, its not keeping up with the amps...

I had the altenator tested and its putting out to much volts! It was putting out like 15.4 volts. The voltage regulator thats built into the altenator is going out.
