Hello,

I have noticed that my battery light comes on under hard acceleration, and my gauge lights dim. I have also observed that when my anti-lock brakes kick in, my gauges dim as well (not sure if the battery light comes on, I don't remember).

I know its not my battery, as it is only a couple of months old. Could this be an alternator?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Eric



With "hard acceleration" you mean like slamming down the pedal? Is your belt fairly old, your belt could be slipping because it cant get up the speed it needs to be at that fast.
