Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / August 2006Intermittent Brake/Charging Light, Sonata
I have a 2001 Sonata and both the brake and charging light turn on and off together intermittently (every few minutes). When it happens I hear a small click (almost like a turning signal sound, but only once and much fainter). Also, if I do actually turn the parking brake on, the light becomes brighter. So I am guessing it is not an actual parking brake problem. Does anybody know what it could be? And is it serious? I just noticed that when the brake/charging light turn on my daytime running lights turn off, but not my headlights (it they are on). -Mike > I have a 2001 Sonata and both the brake and charging light turn on and > off together intermittently (every few minutes).

Sounds like alternator or bad engine ground... possible bad battery...but probably not the battery. > I have a 2001 Sonata and both the brake and charging light turn on and > off together intermittently (every few minutes).
