Recently Ive been trying to fix my car, Ive had problems with a dead battery etc. But I got my car fixed and drove it about a block up from my street and it died, It didnt stall, it just shut straight down. Now the check engine light is on and when you turn the key to start it the oil check light is on but the battery light isnt, it wont come on at all, usually the oil and battery lights come on before i start it. All fuses are good, battery connections are fine, the car turns over and everything, and im left in a stump i have no idea whats wrong, I need help figuring out what this could be.

did you check the BULB itself

 

i dont think the bulb would effect my car starting...

 

Maybe the burnt out bulb is trying to tell you there is still a problem, but you wouldn't know, because a bulb has nothing to do with your problem...

 

pull your head out of your ***(keeping it PG13) and replace the bulb that would indicate theres a problem....hence a battery indicator....no it wouldnt directly affect it but its there for a reason...have you tried to get a test done on the battery and alternator?....if your cars dying while running that would be an alternator problem

 

battery light = alternator

 

My apologies, didnt mean to sound rude. But i got it fixed and my car starts now, i dont have the fuse box cover inside the cabin but it was a 7.5 fuse that was blown, I dont know what fuse it was that would have caused my car to completely die.

 

probably an ecu backup or ignition backup.....at least its fixed
