em1 battery quesiton
Hey i have an EM1 and i recently just started having a weird *** problem guys.. When i hit like 7k rpm my battery light would come on and my srs air bag lights comes on.. so i replaced the battery with a new prostart, and nothing changed. It's liek my cars getting too much electricity from the battery or something? At first i thought it was my battery, my grounds seem ok, maybe on of the grounds is a little bit messed up but still intact to the body of the car. i dont knwo whats wrong, anyone ever had a problem like this? battery light goes away when i let go of the gas and i slowly start coming down form 7k...some times the battery light won't come on until 8k, and sometimes it comes on early at 6k? any one know whats going on?

Sounds to me like a possible problem with the alternator, maybe the voltage regulator or something like that going bad.

Check the tension of your belt, it could be slipping at high rpms causing the alternator to not charge. Battery light monitors running voltage, not battery voltage. When it comes on, usually points toward the charging system.
