Check Generator Warning ⚠️
Seems like it’s a new problem every month for me but I won’t be discourage lol.
Recently my alternator went bad, couldn’t even jump the car. So I replaced it myself as well as the battery. Now before I replaced anything my battery light came on as well was numerous warning lights. I searched on here and it pointed me to the altenator. Now after replacing the Alternator and Battery I get Check Genetator warning at start up but once I start driving it goes away(sometimes). I googled and seen a post about the Battery Current Sensor but i wasn’t sure... Any thoughts or experiences on this ?
Btw I notice a fried or burnt smell went trying to jump start the car... maybe I fried something ... but I’m currently driving the car so it runs.. it’s just sometimes when I start the car up(especially cold starts) my Ac shuts off and I get the warning.. sometimes I just turn the car off and back on and everything is back fine...
sorry for the long message

Awesome, So my alternator is going too? I just replaced the starter after replacing the transmission 3 months prior. I just put a new battery in it and that warning "Check Generator" came on followed by "Limited Electrical Systems" . This damn car is just a never ending money pit huh? lol.
