Does your battery indicator light come on when turning car off?
Just curious, if your battery light (in the same cluster as the oil temp/oil pressure) come on as the car is turning off.
i.e. once the ignition is switched off, as the engine is shutting down, does the light come on? |
Its the Alternator light.
I’d check the output condition of the battery, connections and it’s age. Might be that it’s time to replace it if over 4 yrs. old. With engine running use a multimeter and reading should be better or close to 14v. With engine off anything less than 12.5 would indicate the battery is not able hold a charge. Worse case is when engine is running, the alternator andd/ot regulator is failing or combo of all three, including the battery. |
If the light stays on with the key off, the alt has a bad diode or 3.

Sorry..to clarify..
I was referring to the quick second where the light comes on as the car is turning off. https://youtu.be/Tc53duOahtM |
Mine does this too, seems normal
|
Mine also flashes on as I turn off the engine, maybe less than a second. Alternator is new so I assume it is normal.
|
Thank you!
