2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE... Battery light came on, and went off several times. Parked, and shut car off. came back out 10-15 min. later, started the car, but would not start. Assuming dead battery, I bought a new one, and car started right up, and ran fine so I had the alternator, benched tested, and passed. checked all wiring connecting the battery to the alternator...seemed fine, cleaned electrical terminal with coca-cola, and baking soda.
