Hello!
I have an Opel Corsa C from year 2001 with about 45000 km on board. I have the following problem:
Sometimes the charge sign is not turned off after engine start.
After couple of minutes (not more than 5) driving I restarted the engine and this time the light is turned off.
Could anybody give me a hint what could happened? Could this behavior be the result of low temperature? Is it safe to drive with this behavior?
Thanks

Light comes on at Low voltage....
No matter that anyone give me negitive mark LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!
You can wish it gone but will only get worse til you fix it....
Do you want to be stuck on the road or out of town??? NO, thats way you asked the question....
The bushings in the Alternator are worn and causing short when under stress or cold.... If it doesn't put out enough voltage LIGHT COMES ON.
Thats why they call it a WARNING LIGHT.
Charge your battery back up...
Check cable ends,,,
look for an oil leak. Leaking on a power wire causing a short...
If you do all this you Need to take it to a Mechanic or rebuild alternator or replace Alternator...
Happy Motoring...

you re alternator is going out. no the temp will not affect you re charging system .And the only thing about driving the car like this is when the alt goes out you will be stranded until you have another one installed
