Hello everyone, as the title says, this morning I noticed that after starting the car the warning lights that normally come on when you start the car then go away are still there. I mean the car still runs and seems normal except for that! Any help on why this could be happening would be greatly appreciated, Nelson. :-(

 

Year, model, mileage? Any recent work done? Any other possibly related symptoms?

 

Could be the alternator that is faulty.Check all the wires that go from the alternator and see if they are ok.Check the belts and see that they are not loose.Also could be the keyhole where the key goes in that could be the problem.Try to wriggle the key and see if the lights go out.If that is so then there is a fault in the wireplating inside.Does the battery get charged like normal?

 

My bad, It's a 1994 940 Turbo Wagon with 218,000.

 

Anyone? No? Thanks anyway!

 

Check sicnarf's reply....i know occasionally my car's SRS light will stay on and I need to turn the key back just a tad and it goes off. Maybe something like that is at play in your scenario.

 

Is something wrong with your computer? One suggested that you check or have the alternator checked.

Besides that, please calm down. I don't think you put any coin in with your request for FREE help.

 

Thanks for your suggestions, I will check the alt today and see what happens.

 

My computer is fine, it's my car that's having the problem!

 

I'll be sure to dial you in next time I need a lecture!

 

Thank you for the suggestion, it turns out my belt broke off, put a new one on and shes back to normal. Thanks again, and god bless. :-)

 

You are welcome...

 

Good you guys are friends again ;-)

 

Lol...

 

glad you got it figured out
