Default Battery Light

Hey everyone,

So I'm having a problem with my battery light coming on at WOT. It's a relatively new battery, so I'm not sure if it could be the alternator. Any suggestions?

its the alt, the brushes are worn out and most likely the slip rings on the commutator as well.

So then should I replace the alternator? I'm planning on getting UDPs at some point, so I guess it's for the best anyway.

More than likely its your alternator. I had the same problem with mine. Replaced it and problem solved.
