detailed inside of the car now battery low :-(
Hi Guys,
I got my car interior detailed today by a detail specialist at my place, before detailing the car i told him to switch the interior light off as it has no kill switch. He said he will do that but after i got the car back now i m getting battery icon on my dash I spoke to him later & he said while detailing he had to open the door & close them frequently as in my driveway there is less space for people to pass by if the doors are open so i guess the inside light kept switching on by itself? damn bmw there should be a kill switch for the inside lights, he said its common with these cars & a small drive should solve it. now what should i do get the battery checked by bmw or get it charged? do you guys disconnect the battery while doing interior detail?Thanks.. |

Do not disconnect the battery when doing interior work.
Get a battery tender and keep in hooked to the car doing interior work.

The "battery light" usually means the charging system has a problem, not the battery. It may be completed unrelated coincidence, maybe the v-rib belt was "detailed" and now it's slipping instead of turning the alternator. Many possibilities
