    Mga experts....umiilaw yung battery indicator sa dashboard. AT yung car.....

    Pero nung check namin yung battery mismo doon sa sight glass nya eh color green pa...

    so yung alternator na ang problem? Umiilaw ba talaga yung battery indicator sa dashboard kahit alternator ang sira?

    ^ Yup, I think thats the symptom of a faulty alternator. Maybe the current is not anymore stable or low thats why the indicator is blinking.

    I reckon that you should'nt be traveling very far away with a faulty alternator.

    Sorry..from my experience kasi..it was going on and off intermittently..kaya tuloy I wrote blinking sa earlier post..pero in the end..kapag sira na talaga..steady na yan..pati yung car steady na din.

    yung sa amin kasi steady habang umaandar kami....pero malapit na kami sa bahay....

    advisable ba yung surplus na alternator?

    Magkano estimate ng brand new casa alternator vs surplus?

    A very good experience and a good answer.

    * SUV......Check engine light is emissions system problem. However, when the brake/batt. dash lights when the car is idling appears that this is a good indication that your alternator is dying (alt. belt tension sometimes) and not charging you batt with proper voltage. ECU diagnosis can helps you a lot.

    yup, there's a problem with the charging system. original alternators are better but the one you have may still be fixed. have it opened and checked. carbon brushes may be worn out and they're fairly easy to replace. if it's the IC then it depends. have it checked first. it might just be a faulty connection or a belt that needs replacement/tightening.

    yes sir, alternator ang problem...check mo ang belt baka worn out na then check mo voltage ng battery habang naka-idle dapat around 14.1-14.2 V, pag below 11v mahina na alternator mo

    ganyan nangyari sa akin last week, battery indicator naka-ilaw, nagka-sabay ang belt at alternator. pagk-change ng belt nakailaw pa rin ang battery so pinalitan ko ng alternator, ishin denki ang tatak 4k 6 months warranty heto ang picture after
