When its below zero out, here in MN the wind chill is -45, when i start my truck my Brake warning light and the Battery light stay on intil the truck warms up. What does that usually mean when those are lit? It only does it when it sits overnight.

Bandit, maybe your battery is so cold it's ouput is reduced ,and that's causing the symptoms you're seeing- maybe- and that makes the alternator not work as well.

SAve for getting a battery warmer, I don't thikn there's anything you can do.

You can make the starter's job a little easier by switching the motor oil over to a good synthetic. Dino oil get's sludgy at low temps when synthetics will still pour.

Or is that old news in the LAnd of TenThousand Lakes?

Haha, I always run Mobile 1 Synthetic in all my cars. Im not to worried about it, it always starts right up. I thought its odd the Brake and Battery light are wired together.
