I have a 2002 Mazda Protege LX, with about 95k mileage, the battery line went on when I start the car, drive for about 20 min. it went off by itself. The next time, i start the car, the light went on again, took to Tires Plus to check, everything is fine, battery, alternator, belt, was told to just ignore the light, what could be the problem? Please advise if you have similar problem and how you resolve it. Thanks!
