My battery light just came on in the dash of my 1999 ford contour what could be wrong?
Could be:
Alternator died.
Battery is not accepting a charge.
Your Serpentine belt broke.
Your CPU is failing.
… There are more possibilities, but these are my top choices of 'what could be wrong'.
Normally indicates a charging problem. It could just be your Alternator Belt needs adjusting.

When the battery light comes on, it's not charging between 13.5 - 14.2 volts to the battery.
It could be many things but there's something wrong with your charging system
- Battery light came on in my car and steering wheel locked but the car was still running what could it be? I drive a 1999 Ford Taurus I was pulling out of a parking lot and the battery symbol popped up and my steering wheel locked but the car didn't shut off. I applied the breaks slowly and the battery symbol went away and my steering wheel unlocked. I do believe I have some issues with the "computer" in the car i was wondering if this was the cause

- Check engine light came on, what could it be? I have a 2006 Ford Fusion. I had checked all the fluids. I bought it from a dealer, and everything was fine, except the check engine light. I told them I wouldn't purchase it unless they fixed the problem so they did and the check engine light was gone and that was 2 months and 2 thousand miles later. The car is running perfectly fine right now. Do you suggest I take it to a shop to get it fixed and to what the problem is?
