First I will start off and explain what few mods my car has: Intake, Borla exhaust, sts and a Diablo chip.
I was driving the other day, and was driving my car hard (which is actually unusual).
When I was in third gear, I took the RPM's to just over 6K and my battery light came on. Once I shifted, it was gone....
It only seems to happen in third gear, but then I usually won't rev that high in first or second? It does not come on when I power shift either.
I am kinda lost for a clue
Has anyone ever experienced this?

Cliff's Notes of the above links:

You're alternator's probably on its way out.

How tough would it be to replace that myself?
I haven't looked for it yet, but I am guessing it is probably located below the power steering and air-conditioner. Which would mean, major pain in the butt!.....
Anybody know for sure?
I am just guessing


Thanks

From what I understand, if you've got all the right tools, it's do-able, but it's still a pretty big pain. I'd say just suck it up and pay to have someone do it for you. It'll save you a lot of headace.

No. Change the alt yourself. Less money on labour costs equal more money for mods. And investing in the proper tools is an investment for the future.

The first time it took me about 7 hours to change it and figure everything out. The next 3 times went much easier. I've got it down to about 2 hours now.

It turns out that my battery cables were a little loose from when I was working on the car the other day.
I ran the car again and the light did not come on.
Thanks for the help
