Car: Ford Taurus '07
Problem: "Check Charging System" + battery light on dash as soon as AC comes on
Other Details: Nothing ever happens unless AC is on, or has been on during the trip. Power windows work fine, headlights are not dim, car starts up without a hitch.
Ruled Out: Thought it was corrosion on the battery terminals, had them cleaned, still happening.

Taking it into the shop on Wednesday but I have trust issues from past mechanics - I would like to have an idea of what to expect, so I can make sure he's not yanking my chain.
