All original 1.7. Recently noticed voltage reading low (10.5) and red light which indicates emergency brake engaged flickering. I replaced the E brake trigger switch not thinking the two issues were related which did not not solve the flickering. Also noticing a periodic hesitation when driving. Any thoughts on what might be causing these symptoms and if they are related? Thanks.

Honestly wouldn't be worried about a handbrake light,time to address low voltage in your system ,soon but not later you will have insufficient voltage to your coil and more importantly your starter won't turn over,DON"T take voltage from any where but the battery,you should have 12 + volts at rest and 13.4 to 14.4 under full charging load.
Do you have a working charge light? |
