Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So my 2001 9a96 C4 is giving me fits! When I drive it down the road, I have no warning lights on, then as i get up to the higher RPMs, my battery light pops on, as do a bunch of other lights, A/C system shuts down and the stereo cuts off, for at about 20 seconds, then will come back on. The battery is registering on a volt meter, about 13.58 volts while not running. With the car on, I get about 13.95 at idol, reved up to about 2500-3000 rpm, and no change. I had to replace the alternator last week, but that didnt fix my problem. I pulled the alternator and battery and had them both tested, both came back as good. I checked the grounding cable n the passenger rear of the vehicle, the cables at the battery are clean and in good shape as well. Oh, the code reader gave me a P0563...not sure where to go next? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Scott

Ignition switch. Classic symptoms. There's a number of DIYs out there, here's a good example: Replace Ignition Switch (pedrosgarage.com) GLWR
