Warning lights

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I suspect that the alternator isn't charging. The battery, if in good condition and fully charged, will last a while before failing. With that in mind, I need you to check the alternator for output. It is very easy to do. All you need is a volt meter or multi meter.

Here are a few links to help in general:

If you feel the vehicle is running properly, most parts stores will test the alternator output as well as load test the battery for free. You may want to do that.

If you perform the above test and find the alternator has failed, here is a link that shows in general how to replace one:
