I was driving up 14 N into Palmdale when the Red Battery flashed. I remember reading something about the alternator...all kinds of lights started flashing and failing randomly...ASB, Airbags, you name it! Then the engine cut out. I got her towed home...but can't take her anywhere since it NY Eve and everyone's closed! Could it be as simple as the battery? Or am I likely looking at a new alternator? Any and all help appreciated! If there's an existing post that I'm not seeing please point me in the right direction!

 

Hello,

Mine did this and it was the alternator. Have the battery charged and then load tested first. If the battery is good. Then its the alt. Any local auto zone or national parts store can charge and load test the battery.

Be safe.

 

what am I looking at if it is the alternator? $$$$$ Because they'll have to reset the computer too won't they!??!?

 

No, $$$ because you have to buy and have a new alternator installed .

 

Any update , did you get the alt installed. No computer update, Thats the battery if it has the IBS module.
