Battery light stuck on
Ok guys got a 2007 with about 258000 and my wife hit a bump and light came on .. there are no messages no check engine light just battery .. possible alternator going or what the best way to check it thanks

ok went to autozone and they tell me the battery is at 74 percent .. so I went to test with the meter car off it at 12.58 with everything on it was at 10.88 so I’m guessing got to be the alternator not charging?

Like RJ stated. If you went to AZ, you should have had them check the entire charging system, including the battery.

well girl tells me that she can’t because the battery is weak I’m like really .. the place is useless I told her to check the alternator but that’s what I get ..and yes the serpentine is there .. and seen a liitte smoke rising in that area .. I mean 258000 on the original alternator is pretty good I think ..

the battery tested at 74 percent when I put a load on it everything on it drop 10.88 .. all I seen some smoke coming from the alternator area so I shut the car off .. so I feel that the brushes in alternator seen better days.. the car starts right up so I not sure but I will take to a shop I that I trust to see what’s the deal ..
