Battery light, no heated seats or rear window de frost

[nickdalman]

So I just replaced my battery today after having issues with my car dying and the battery light came on yesterday... Now that a new battery is installed when I turn my car on everything works perfectly for about 5-10 seconds then the battery light comes on, heated seats stop working and de froster all stop working 5 secs after start up. I get a reading of 14.5-14.7 V when car runs and 13.15 V with car off??? Please help, thanks 2009 Genesis 4.6 sedan

IMO 14.7 volts is too high. Maybe circuit protecting itself from too many volts and shutting down?

Over charging?

Thanks for the reply, that is a good theory. Do you think the after market battery I just put in could cause any issues, or are these cars pretty good with after market parts? I am new to this brand

I am do not use aftermarket parts on my vehicles. Only my old beater. But that is the way I am. I found with most equipment/heavy trucks OEM is tha way to go. You pay more ,but you might avoid a lot of headaches. I am only 8 months into my Genesis,so I am still kind of new to it as well. Good luck with your problems. Keep us posted.
