Here is what happened. I have the check engine light on and i forgot to plug my Cooling temperature sensor back in ( I pulled it out because we were working on it ) I forgot to plug it back in and I turned my car on and drove up my street and noticed my battery light wud be blinking and then my lights would go out. Once I noticed that I pulled over and plugged it back in and went back home because it continued. Now when I start my car the battery light turns on after it warms up and it continues to act like how it was when I first drove it with the CTS unplugged. any help would be nice.

Im just hoping tomorrow my car will run once i let it cool down or something cause I need to run errands and I need my car. Earlier today I drove it fine bc I remembered to plug it back in.

 

Check fuses, like #14.

 

how do i know which 1 is the #14

 

By looking at the fuse diagram, duh.

 

the fuse was good my it turns on when i turn my lights on does that mean its just low on batterY?

 

The warning indicator with a picture of a battery actually has nothing to do with the battery itself - it indicates that the charging system is not producting the correct voltage.

In other words, it's likely that you have a bad alternator.

If you continue to drive the car it will eventually drain the battery until it is dead, at which point the car will quit running.

 

Fuse #14 has nothing to do with lights. So turning a light on won't tell you if that fuse is good.

Go check it with your eye *****.

 

x2

easy and cheap check. any auto parts store will do it for FREEEEEEEE

 

Checking the fuse is even easier.

 

easy and cheap check for the alternator

 

I know what you're saying. My point was that he should check the fuse before doing anything else. It's the quickest and easiest step in narrowing down the problem.

And of course, if the fuse is good, go get the alternator tested as already suggested.
