Help! Battery warning lights up when shifting to Reverse

**glenn** · September 21st, 2004 11:38 PM

Please help!

My ride is an A/T 93 corolla Gli. I noticed that my battery warning/indicator lights up(and then quickly goes back to normal) when I shift from Drive to Reverse. Any idea why this happens? By the way the battery is new.

mga ser, okay naman ang alternator belts and alternator, terminals okay din.

I noticed this afternoon that when I shifted from Park to Reverse the battery indicator also went on and then off.

Di naman po kaya nagpalit kayo ng higher wattage bulbs sa reverse light assembly?

Try to think back what was the last modification you've done, or adjusted a bolt that could have loosen a ground wire.

Di naman ako nagpalit ng lights, wala din akong mods.

try to switch-on all electrical components..the lights..hi-beam, interior lights, full blast aircon, defogger, radio, signal light, brake light, wiper, etc..

then switch to reverse, naka-on pa rin po ba battery light?

baka po meron grounded somewhere sa car ninyo..

If you are not having problems with your electrical system (discharged palagi, etc.), baka minor electrical fluke lang yan.

Observe mo lang.

revoGSX, thanks for the suggestion, I tried lahat 'yung sinabi mo except for the wiper pero hindi naman nag on 'yung battery warning/indicator.

OTEP, wala namang electrical problems so far.

Additional info, I noticed that when I shift real slow from Drive to Reverse, the battery warning/indicator is less likely to light up.
