Greetings,
I have a 1992 Peugeot 505 DL wagon with the 2.2i
engine.
In the past week, my "BATTERY" icon caution light has
illuminated. Yesterday, I had the car jumped twice to
get it home. Finally, I had to change batteries (one
from my other 505 wagon) to get it home.
Situation: I took the ORIGINAL battery (in car) to
Autozone. They checked it, but could not determine if
the fault was either alternator or a bad battery. They
suspected BOTH. Strange analysis, I thought.
Background: I jump started an old car about a week
ago. It was jumped properly, using a body ground, and
the old car (an old AMC Ramberler American) finally
started. However, this is the only ususual thing I've
done with the car, electrically, since the problem
occured.
After changing batteries last night - using the OLD
battery. I removed the POS and NEG connectors, and did
an overnight trickle charge. However, this morning,
strangly, the same RED BATTERY caution light
illuminated.
I suspect a bad alternator. Has anyone had this
symptom?
FYI: The folks at Autozone said the alternator was
only putting out 12.08 VDC, not 14.0, or so.
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about what to do.
Sincerely,
Tim Grimes
