I used to have same issue, it was warning light that something is wrong with charging system, and I lost power stirring, so I replace battery but light was still on,didn't help,then I checked voltage on a running engine it was 12.7 volt,but should be around 14,it was obvious that problem with tension on belt or alternator, but alternator was like new(changed year ago),checked tension, it was fine.The problem was with alternator (was still on warranty),replaced alternator and problem was solved
