brake & battery light coming on???Jimmy101 03-09-2006, 09:41 AM I have a 1990 v6 pickup, lately my brake and battery light have been coming on. I have plenty of brake fluid, but they turn on together. and eventually turn off after about 15mins of driving. Does this mean my alternator is dying? I have about 225k miles. Also turn the car off and restarting it, does not make the lights go away. Any ideas??? thanks for you help!

Jimmy101 03-14-2006, 09:57 PM thanks! I went ahead and just put in a new bosch remanufactured alternator from pepboys, $119.

The Brake Light, Battery light, and Automatic Transmission light would flicker on whenever we would accelerate. Then a day or two later the truck would not even start. The alternator was bad, we replaced it and everything's back to normal. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
