how does your headlight stay on even though your car is off? my car when i turn the car off with my headlights on it also turns off with the car.

Battery light usually means alternator, that happened to me about a week ago. But before you do anything, take your car to Advance Auto Parts and they have a machine which tells you what is wrong. If it is the alternator, dont bother buying a new one, just take yours out and bring in into a battery/alternator shop to get it rebuilt for ~$140

Your alternator went out man . Im not sure about the SC400's either, youd have to ask someone else or do a search
