Hi all

i own a 93 camry, a good car. Recently i have noticed that the battery light will come on for a short period then go off.

This may occur several times during a trip, lasting from approx. 3 secs up to 60 secs. Sometimes there will be a period when the light will stay off for several days even weeks during travel . Is this a common problem?

Thanks :)

I would check your altinator and battery (or get them checked) this is not normal behavior.

Its a pretty common problem,especially due to the age. Very likely the alternator is on its way out, should cost about $150 to get it reconditioned. If the light comes on try giving the alternator a light tap with a hammer incase the bushes are sticking, only a band-aid though.

Or quite simply, the brushes are slowly on their way out. It wouldn't hurt to inspect them if you know how to.

Exactly. Onnly other thing I'd add is check the plug on the Alternator to make sure it's not loose or coroded.

+1 for checking the plug.

Mine was loose once... had a similar issue. Reseated and been fine since.
