Subject: Re: Help..my battery light stays on when its very cold


Just out of curiosity, I know you have to use a specific wattage bulb in the dash warning. I suppose as the contacts get older and the wire connectors corrode the resistance of the whole circuit changes. Having never owned an old style 900 from new does anybody know or remember this happening on a new car???
