Thread: Charging System Failure

I started my car today... I ran it with no trouble going to work early this morning, around noon for lunch, and jsut drove it home from work about 3 hours ago and I had no troubles.

I started it just now and the chimes were really late going off, and then after I started moving my DIC displayed "Charging System Failure" and flashed a picture of a battery followed by Service Vehicle Soon.

I was already driving when it went off so I went around the block to quickly park back at my house, and I noticed my turn signals were skipping beats and going from regular to irregular.

Im worried about my alternator now, any other possibilities?

Also, my car is an '08.. 45000 miles

Alright, so...

I cleaned the posts with a wire brush real good and reseated the connections, seems like everything is running pretty smoothly for now.

I apologize for the needless post, as I now realize I already knew what steps I should take before jumping to parts issues... I was just under stress from other stuff and not thinking clearly.

So this post can be deleted if the admins wanna do so, I also realize I should've searched first if I didnt know what to do, and that there are other posts that cover this topic.

Again, sorry.
