Hi,
So I had a wierd experience yesterday... I drove my car about 200 miles to get my son at school.. I turned on the lights, heater, tunes at about 75 miles... Heat and tunes where on all the way... Got back, stopped by to a meeting...came out 30 min later...battery seemed dead...when I turn the lights on, they would light up, when key turned to start, lights went out completely... Ok, I changed the Voltage regulator a few months ago due to what I thought was non-charging... I figured I had that again...I go out this morning..25 degrees last night...car started right up... So, WTF... Could an alternator be checked in the car...I know if I get voltage at the battery while running I am charging...but this seems to be intermitant... I checked all my wires...all tight...I even ran a seperate ground to the starter during my last voltage regulator diagnosis.. What is up here...is the alternator dying? Rich |
