Need help diagnosing source of problem
Posted: September 10th, 2006, 11:06 am
Hi everyone,
I have a 1.8L v6 MX3 GS and recently, the "charge battery" light in the console has begun to light up. At first, it only lit up when the engine was running under 1200rpm... now it lights up anywhere under 2200rpm. It seemed to get progressively worse over the course of a week. I would like to know how I can dianose the problem. What is the proceedure for isolating the bad part? I don't know if it is the battery, alternator or something else! I want to learn how to repair/maintain my own car, and am hoping to get some tips here, so please help if you can.
Thanks in advance,
-Jerry
