RT HELP - Warning lites

[mpeagan]

The brake, batt and AT Iol Temp lites came on all of a sudden. All service is up to date, all fluids checked fine. Battery is running at about 12-volts and not charging. I disconnected the battery cables, clean them and the posts and all the lites came back on.

All ideas welcomed.

that happened to me a little while ago, the problem was a leak in the transmission cooler lines. i found a local tranny shop (who the owner said hed /droveworked on LCs in saudi arabia oil fields....he did all the work). new rubber lines were installed in place of the old steel lines.
i felt he overcharged me on the new lines(300$+2hrs) but dealer quote for new steel lines was 1400+labour, the man who did the work said he could of fabd a new steel line for more money.

id recomend looking for a leak, and if you do have to replace the lines and choose to go to rubber, source your won line, i dont think it would cost you more than 50$

as for the baterry/brake light, mine is still on even tho i put in a new battery/alternator, it maintains its charge and i have no problem with it, BUT i sure wish it wasnt on!!

These are classic symptoms for a failing charging system. Alternator, or voltage regulator would be my guess.

a brake and charge light= no charging going on. as above, alt or regulator.
