Battery light stays on.
Just bought 2004 Expy. Battery light is on. Guy I bought from said he had alternator and battery checked and both checked out fine. Shop told him they couldn't find the cause and it was probably something wrong with the programming in the truck? Truck runs great no other problems. Any ideas where to start? Thanks, John

The guy I bought the Expy from said the light had been on for about the last 40,000 miles. He didn't want to take it back to the dealer to have it fixed. I don't really want to either. The truck has 199,766 miles on it!!!

Short trips and city driving would worry me much more.

This is my 3rd high mileage Expy. I have a 98 with 227,000 on it, it had 158,000 when I bought it. I have a 2001 with 215,000 on it, it had 176,000 on when I bought it. They all came from the same company, salesmens vehicles. The only thing I have had to do other than regular maintainence was a alternator on both. This 04 I had to put new tires, rear brakes and a front axle seal on it. The only other thing is that battery light.
