I have a 1994 Ford Ranger 3.0 L and the battery idiot light is on. It's the one that looks like a battery and is red. Also the gauge for the battery is showing closer to 8 than it is 18 (needle to the left). The truck runs but the fan for heat/air is slow and the turn signals blink very slowly. Could it be that my battery is going dead or do i need a new alt. or voltage regulator? It was very cold tonight (about 35 F). Could that have drained my battery? I had a 20 minute drive home and the needle never went back up to where it usually is which tells me it's not charging. I put a new alt. on about 2 years ago and a new battery about 3 years ago.
