The other day I went to a party with my 98 E0 CSVT. i got back home like around 3am and right before parking it, i heard a hard hit/knock from underneath the car...as if a stone hit the bottom of it. I didn't see anything so I parked it, checked the driver side front tire and all seemed well. The next day, I was again about to go out, so I start the beast. well, this time i heard some kind of knocking sound. at first i though it was my exhaust (i recently found a small hole in one of the pipes near the rear bumper), but then I saw that my battery light was ON all the time. I opened the hood and realized that the knocking sound comes from somwhere around the coil pack and the egr valve and the firewall...i knwo there are no moving parts there. all belts are new and i checked them. pulleys are fine...why is my battery light on? why is it knocking like that...are they related??? car has oil that i changed 4 days ago...any ideas???
** for the record I have new (not refurbished) alternator BOSH, new belts, new battery, new motorcraft sparkplugs, and new autolite cables...
THANK YOUU
*** ohh and as far as the mega fuse, that was changed two months ago because it burned, however back then the battery light didn't come on.
