okay i have been looking thought the forum trying to figure WTF is going on with them two lights being on but none of them seem like it they make any sence, i know people have said there alt. was going but mine has been on for sometime now an my bat. and alt. are fine does anyone eles have any idea what this could be? cause i really dont feel like bringing it to mitsu an having them charge me out that A$$ for it ya know so any help would be nice thanx

 

in my sentra the ebrake light on means you are low on brake fluid, not sure if it is the same on the evo

 

nope not the brake fliud, but i topped it off just to make sure

 

lol.. someone please fill me in too... ive been online all day today trying to figure out the same problem...

Im starting to beleive its my altenator because when I pull off the battery plug while the car is on.. the car just shuts off....

but at the same time.. I find it hard to believe my altenator is dead already...

plus its too much of a coinsidence that the brake light would come on at the same time..

 

just found this thread...

thats what it is man a damn $90 part remanufactured prevented me from selling my evo to a guy who drove all the way from co to mo. Really sucks, good luck, but they dont seem too bad to replace

 

sorry, old thread i know, but i wanted to get into this link to see what it said as im having the same problems.

help anybody? cheers

 

Alternator for sure. How old is ur alt? Is it remanufactured? I would start by checking any loose connections or grounds around the battery, alternator, and starter.

 

Yes, your alternator is going bad if BOTH the e-brake light and battery light is on. Mine went bad a couple months back. When you go to change it, dont even bother trying to get to it from up top, Its a waist of time and much more of a hassle. Do it from under and it will take 1 hour.

-On a lot of modern day vehicles, both those lights on at the same time mean the alternator

 

hey guys, thanks for your replies. not really too sure about history of alternator etc. ive only had the car for about 6 months and dont really drive it much but thought i should get it checked out.
thanks heaps
