Re: [T3] Clutch light going crazy- I think

["mackenzie" <mackenzie@lilyandscooter.com>]

Yes yes, it is the Generator light (me the newbie still learning about her car :)). It is coming on quite a bit (as far as I 
can tell) and when I'm in low gear or shifting, but it never stays on. 
As long as its not something that's going to cause me to stop running while on the freeway I'll be sure to point it out 
to the mechanic when I take it in next week. 
Thanks!
