idjit lights are all on 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be fiddler on  Tue Mar 2 17:19 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi,

Silly question: Five or so of the idiot lights on my '89 240 came on when I started the car today. Sort of flickered. They went away when I got the car up to 40 or so; came back later.

Obviously, this would seem to be a slipping or loose alternator belt. Is there some sort of spray i can use if it is slipping so it will make better contact? The belt looks healthy.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
