I have a 2002 Ford F150 and the battery light has come on while driving on my way home to Atlanta from Birmingham. What does this mean? Can I make it from Birmingham to Atlanta with the light on? What should I do? Thanks!
Normally what this means is that your charging system is having a problem keeping your battery charged. If your alternator is faulty then you won't make it to Atlanta (no way to keep your battery charged).
Get to an auto parts store like Checker or Napa or equivalent and have your alternator checked for free!!!!
The alternator is not charging. Don't drive that far with the light on. You won't make it.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5925550-dead_battery_troubleshooting . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.
