Hey Scotty,
I have here a 2007 corolla with a battery icon flashing on the dashboard. It is not rapid, but it flashes every 10 seconds. I also notice a chirping noise from the alternator. I inspected the battery terminal cables and I did not see anything out of the ordinary (i.e, no corrosion). Could this be a bad serpentine belt, alternator pulley, or the alternator? Please help!!!
Here is the link:
Take belt of run car if it goes away its the ansilarys water pump alternator ect while belts of see if yhe alternator pully has movement spin it with fingers is it smooth or does it sound rough and squeeky if the battery lights on its probably the alternator bearings on its way out easy to replace just disconect wiring from rear and usualy 1 or 2 bolts keeping it in place normally less yhan an hourbto replace
Load test the battery and alternator. You can do these in Autozones free of charge.
you will find the issue.
