Battery Discharge Light.
 
Keep getting a battery discharge light.



So far I have replaced the battery, the alternator, the alternator plug. The positive and negative battery cables.



I have checked all grounds throughout the chassis, and the light still remains.


The car starts and runs normally. No lights for a few seconds, and then as soon as you rev the engine, the discharge light and the ABS light come on...


Electrics not my strong point.



Any ideas....

Try unplugging the brake light failure module as a test. Its located behind the center plastic panel near the trunk lock on the inside. If that solves the problem, you might have a water leak or water has leaked onto the module. I fixed mine by opening it up and cleaning the corrosion off the circuit board that was shorting it. I put it into a plastic bag that helped prevent water from getting into it again and bolted it back on. It gave me similar weird wonky warning lights that didn't make sense. I guess the failure module needs a failure module. Another weird thing happened when the AC/heat blower motor brushes wore down to a nub and shorted. As a next step, try unplugging the blower motor under the passenger side kick panel. Unplug the black air temp thermostat coils. It's very close to it as well. It's got 3 coils of wire. The delicate thin gauge one always burns out and you loose low fan motor speed. I replaced mine by coiling a similar small gauge paperclip around a pencil and substituting it for the broken coil. Soldering skills and materials are required.

Good luck, Bru

Thanks. I'll try that.

Not related to the your battery discharge issue, but Bru's note about the coils may have just solved my issue with the low speed setting on the fan!:nuts:

Don't forget to check the fuses also.

Found the ground from the coil packs to the head to be the culprit!
