Checked the charging sys. replaced the alternator , charging was back but the battery light was on checked the wires and no luck ,checked the voltage regulator and the regulator ,they were not working right ,replaced the alternator and this fixed the issue !
My 06 Lincoln zephyr has the check charging system light on. If I go to start it early in the morning when it’s chilly, it cranks normally but won’t start as if the fuel pump isn’t working but it is, after three tries of cranking it starts.
I have a ford five hundred 2005 limited and tye battery on my car died. After I changed the battery, the horn started to blare and the engine wasn't starting. Apparently, it was an issue with the passive anti theft system and it wasn't allowing it to start. The solution is whenever you change the battery on this car one is supposed to take off the positive terminal off and then another person needs to sit in the car and hold the key to start the engine while pressing a small black switch which is under the left side of steering wheel near driver's left knee, at the same time when you try to start it another person need to connect the positive terminal and the car will start. The dealership asked me to tow in the car and said they will charge 200$ for it. Additionally, before I put in the new battery, when I jump started the car, I saw all kinds of lights like check engine, check transmission, check charging system and now after changing the battery and doing the above steps all lights are gone and car worked fine and I hope it keeps driving fine.
The battery light comes on, odometer and fuel gauge don’t work and the traction control light all come on when I turn the fan on, I have tried multiple different things and it’s not working, just got a new battery and alternator is good.
Have a 2013 Ford edge, alternator and belt replaced less than a year ago and connecter changed literally 24 hours ago and check charging light comes on still, spent about a grand on it already and can't afford to keep taking it in, any help on solving this would be greatly appreciated
@@BamaBoySnoop Decided not to take it back in, I honestly felt that after being told it was fixed both times I had it in by the same mechanic, I didn't feel "the third time's the charm" was going to work. Bought a scanner and it says the new alternator is fine and battery passed it's test as well, the only thing I did notice is that when it did come on briefly, it wasn't draining the battery but seemed to be idling 2-300 rpm higher and tester said alternator was max charge, lasted a few seconds then turned off and ran like normal
Same!!! I have a 2016 Egde. Mine came on last week & I've had the battery, alternator, and 2 serpentine belts replaced and what do you know, on the way home the warning light popped back on & off AGAIN!!! I'm sick of it. Took the care to shop on 2 different times last week!!😡😡🤬
My 17 accord LX starts up fine. Replaced alternator and battery after it didn’t turn on for me about a month ago. Since replacing alternator, my Car has a very rough idle specifically when the AC is on. If I drive the car in a rush and turn the ac on too the “check charging system” message pops up for me.
@@ZaraeJaelin it’s a faulty alternator smh that’s what happens when you buy from Advance Auto Parts. Still doing the same thing , haven’t gotten it replaced but I know I can go trade in this defective part for another. Thanks for reminding me lol 😂
I drive a 2007 ford escape and while I was driving the dash lights, radio, signal lights all turned off. The car was still driving, but all the electrics kept coming on and turning off. Then when i got off work, my car was dead. I got a jump and it started up. On the way home the electrics we’re going out again and started to smell this stink smell, like dead fish or rotten eggs. When I finally got home I checced under the hood and the battery was smoking and sizzling….. what I also noticed is my coolant was EXTREMELY low. I’m praying a new battery and some coolant will fix the issue of what I assume is an overheated battery. But I have no idea. What sucs is either way, I have to replace the battery. Does any one have any idea what I’m dealing with?
Seems like the alternator may not work anymore. I know you probably got it fixed by now. But when the car is running, you can unhook either the positive or negative. If it shuts off your alternator is bad.
I use Mazda 6 spot NAV model, It was showing charging system malfunctioning . I have changed the battery to a new , alternator is good after checking and changed voltage converter control module stabilizer. Still showing on the dashboard. What else can we do ?
Hi good evening I have kia optima hybrid, 2011 The car is starting but when I went to drive the car no driver the the charging system. What should I do? Can you tell me please? Thank you.
I have same problem 2013 optima hybrid. Car starts and drives but get “check charging system” and “hybrid system warning” Did you ever resolve the issue and how did you do it? I’ve spent thousands at dealer and I’m losing hope
I have a 2008 Mazda CX-9 I just replaced the old alternator in w a new one before that my battery was dead and the old alternator wasn’t charging the new battery now I have a new alternator the battery charging but the battery light is on now I really wanna know what’s the problem w my car y is the battery light on after replacing the alternator
Water pump impaired or out . High temperature. Of course belt is first to check , usually water pump make noise because bearing an seals are trashed . Change it but also change thermostat. First make sure belt isn’t slipping and needing replaced. Actually you also need to change it when pump is changed so it’s not wasted money .
Checked the charging sys. replaced the alternator , charging was back but the battery light was on checked the wires and no luck ,checked the voltage regulator and the regulator ,they were not working right ,replaced the alternator and this fixed the issue !
It popped up all of a sudden while i was parked. I didnt just potentially leave me stranded but it really did leave me stranded 🤣
It popped up on my dash while I was parked with the engine off wtf
Does anyone have a fix for it ?
Same!
Would it be possible the terminal is the fault?
08 Honda Pilot changed alternator and battery. Battery light came back on a week later. I’m thinking maybe a faulty alternator that I bought.
My 06 Lincoln zephyr has the check charging system light on. If I go to start it early in the morning when it’s chilly, it cranks normally but won’t start as if the fuel pump isn’t working but it is, after three tries of cranking it starts.
Yeah I just replaced the alternator and battery myself for $700 and it didn't fix it 😔
🤦♀️that sucks!! I’m sorry to hear that ! I may have the same problem I just got this message on the dash of my Mitsubishi Lancer today.🤦♀️
Just picked up an alternator for $75 bucks takes about an hr I hear.. but now I'm second guessing reading the comments I've got 2012 Chevy Cruze RS
I’d always go with the 5$ fuses and cheaper wires before replacing big stuff first
Good idea did you figure it out?
Did u figure out?
A can of battery cleaner from auto zone for 6.99 fixed mine. Cleaned battery and terminals, no more warning 👌

Cars are such a stinking jigsaw puzzle! Drives me out of my mind at times. So stressful.

Hi yep needs a new alternator.
@@karlaschmid turns out a racoon was chewing on some wires for me 😅
@@beem9765 whaaaat! Oh myyy 🤦♀️ that stinks. I’ve heard of chipmunks chewing on wires, but never raccoons. Now I know!

Wonder if it's the belt tensioner

Hi I’ve got battery charging fault on dash I’ve changed alternator and it still there don’t know what to do
Could be battery sensor faulty, if yours have one

I literally been dealing with this same issue last four months did you ever figure out what’s going on
My 2005 mustang too

I have a Honda odyssey 2005 change the Alternator and the battery it’s still not working kept saying check charging System
Update
Maybe battery connection is not good.
2013 fore edge battery been replaced and it starts but doesnt run long all the lights have come on dè
Those are signs of a bad alternator
Any body having issues with long starting in the morning ? Starter new, alternator is good, ground wires changed. Any suggestions?!
i changed alternator and battery and the red warning light on screen on Mercedes c class 180 2005 any ideas
Same thing changed battery and alternator still not working and can't find anyone who knows what's the real problem
Worse light you ever wanna see the battery light
Could be a thousand things with these car with so many sensor
I use Mazda 6 spot NAV model, It was showing charging system malfunctioning . I have changed the battery to a new , alternator is good after checking and changed voltage converter control module stabilizer. Still showing on the dashboard. What else can we do ?
Maybe the Battery Current Sensor Cable Terminal End Sensor that's with the black negative terminal on your battery
Goat ❤
I put in a brand new alternator and battery what could I do
Hi good evening I have kia optima hybrid, 2011
The car is starting but when I went to drive the car no driver the the charging system. What should I do? Can you tell me please? Thank you.
I have same problem 2013 optima hybrid. Car starts and drives but get “check charging system” and “hybrid system warning”
Did you ever resolve the issue and how did you do it? I’ve spent thousands at dealer and I’m losing hope
what about hybrid vehicles?
I have a 2008 Mazda CX-9 I just replaced the old alternator in w a new one before that my battery was dead and the old alternator wasn’t charging the new battery now I have a new alternator the battery charging but the battery light is on now I really wanna know what’s the problem w my car y is the battery light on after replacing the alternator
What are the fuse to check?
Is this the same for a 2018 ford flex alternator
That’s very soon to be having problems! Good luck 😢
In the beginning of the video. The car is off so no shit it's not charging. Just start the car. Issue fixed
What about water pump
Water pump impaired or out . High temperature. Of course belt is first to check , usually water pump make noise because bearing an seals are trashed .
Change it but also change thermostat.
First make sure belt isn’t slipping and needing replaced. Actually you also need to change it when pump is changed so it’s not wasted money .
