Re: batt light issue

Get a gauge on that thing and make sure the ALT is charging while running, 13.5 to 14.3 volts. If not, you're in for a breakdown.

Re: batt light issue

Check all connections at the battery and alternator for tightness and free from corrosion.

Re: batt light issue

Also the connections at the starter.......your main pos cable and bat feed line to the alternator, are located there....

Re: batt light issue

Dude i think Your battery is defective, probably a dead cell.I guess its a one in a 2000 thing. I should contact Halo customer service, I am sure they make it right.Hope after contact the service center your problem would be solved..
