A battery warning light, dim headlights or a battery that keeps going flat can point to a weak alternator, though a worn belt or a loose battery cable can leave a battery undercharged too. With the engine off, look the belt over for cracks and glazing and the cable ends for looseness or corrosion; if the alternator is the cause, this unit replaces it.
