Battery light on
So I went to Midas yesterday to get my check engine light checked and after they gave me the car, I started driving it for a little bit and realized my battery light is on???
I called them back and the guy said he doesn't know why that happened. He told me to drive it for a little bit and see what happens. It is still on and I have to drive to work tomorrow.
Any ideas why this would happen? Do I need a new battery or could this be something that turns on b/c they messed w/ something?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Battery light on
Battery light does not mean battery.
The alternator is the primary control for that light, but there are other systems involved too.

check to make sure your battery connections are tight, the guy at midas may have disconnected it and not tightened them properly
