Red Battery incator light! - Honda Pilot

Rhino1XL · 01-18-2012, 08:45 PM

2006 Pilot
100K miles
Noticed today that the Red Battery indicator illuminated tody during start up and has stayed on. Fresh Sears Diehard battery 4 months ago. I cleaned both terminals and double checked the fuses. (120A battery fuse looks great)
Serpentine belt is tight, isnt slipping.
I'm guessing its an alternator.
How about you??
is this common with Honda Pilots at 100K ???
I'm a single dad of 2 kids, and this is my only transportation.

Alternator or alternator wiring, is the best guess.

If your driving it, the radio will go out first (at least it does on older cars). This is a sign you need to get it parked right away. Motor will die soon after.
