Hi,

I was facing the problem of Brake Light + Battery Light both goes red
together after starting up the my car. It was problem of alternator.
It was not charging up the battery. I ran the car for 3 days without
charging up the battery. Finally battery discharged fully and problem
diagnosed to be the alternator not charging up the battery. Got the
new alternator for $185 (with TAX) with lifetime replacement warranty
from Schucks, Liberty Lake. Changed the alternator and problem gone
aways.

Thanks,
Jayesh Modha

Did that include a coring charge for your old alternator??

The brake light comming on confuses the issue. What happens
is that the ABS controler is detecting the low system voltage
and turning on the brake light to indicate that ABS may not
work properly.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.
