Title: battery idiot light on with new battery, starter, and alt. All test good
Post by: Roguevalleyblue on April 14, 2024, 02:21:36 PM

2000 basic GV (cheap interior) with all new batt, alt, and starter, all of which have been tested and operate correctly.  Idiot light persists.

ANalyzer found reason for ABS light (left front wheel sensor), but found no codes set for electrical system.  OTOH, it did not recognize a BCM, so, ...

Salvage title, 185k on clock.

Ideas?  Need to sell but no one wants a charging system lite.

Thx, Pat

Is that 2000 the year or the engine size?

What "analyzer" are you referring to ?  A code reader?  Electrical system faults generally don't set codes, at least, not on cars this old, and it's probably not seeing a BCM because the car doesn't have one.  A model year 2000 would not have had a BCM.

Find yourself a good auto-electrician and have the charge system checked.
