Mazda 323- '89 1.6 SL
 

I have a problem with my Mazda 323. the car is in good condition as I take good care of it. It runs smoothly and the fuel

consumption is good. The problem i have is that the warning lights comes on after I turn on the ignition. The car idles and the

following lights remains on. The fuel warning light, the charge warning light, the rear warning light and the washer warning light.

When the car idles it makes a buzzing noise but as soon as I rev the car past 2500rpm, the lights goes off and the noise

stops. As soon as the car goes back to and idle the lights comes on and the noise returns. I have check all the wiring in the dash but I cant find anything wrong. please advise on this as Icant seem to find the problem.

Thanking you in advance

I would consider having the alternator checked for proper output. Most auto parts stores will do this for free. When it is idling you should have about 14V with no accessories on. Have it load tested too, you should expect about 50A or so.
