Hi all. A little red light popped on tonight.It has a "G" with a circle around it. My first thought was gas, but I filled it up and it didn't go away. The tach and fuel guage go to 0 when I hit the brakes. I think my alternator is dying. Yes? No? Please help!
If it is my alt., can I get one at Autozone? Cole (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif) |
