Today everything started normal in the day, my car cranked nicely and after driving for 2 hours i parked my car and went to my work. After completing my work i started my car and it worked normally after 20 seconds, I noticed the check charging system light appeared in the dashboard and switched my car off and then started it again and the light disappeared. I have encountered this issue last winter 1 to 2 times and now it is winter again. kindly address me with the issue.

This happens when the alternator starts to go out, here is how to change it out so you can see how the job is done. You can run it for a while locally as long as the light is out FYI. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
