Hello everyone. My car went a little crazy today. First of all, I revved it up a lil, not much before I left to come home. While the engine was returning to idle speed I heard a pop half loud but not ridiculously loud. Anyhow, all seemed to be fine and left to come home. A few km's into my trip, I noticed my abs light, airbag light, and battery light all came on, engine light was on but it was on for a while now. Then my lights in my dash and stereo went dull, about half as bright as normal. Along with this, my stereo went slightly fuzzy when listening to my cd. The headlights also went very dull, barely visible on the road. Next thing to go weird was my gauges, the temperature gauge dropped and so did my fuel gauge, flicked the high beam lights on and it would come on, and go back down. Almost like the high beam/ low beam was resetting the gauges. Stopped the car in my driveway and it had a slight sputter and slightly lower idle speed. Shut the car off, and now it won't start. It will click very rapidly when you try to start it, I guess it is the starting motor, so I don't think the battery is dead. Interior dome light still works, about normally, and lights and gauges are on but not as brightly lit as normal. I have no idea what is wrong exactly, if I was to guess I would say something fuse or alternator related? Maybe even a solenoid? I would like to get to the bottom of this because as of now I can't use my car and I am totally stumped. Sorry for the long post but hopefully it is enough details for someone to diagnose a problem/solution or at least help. Thank you
check all fuses, my next guess would be alternator if you're sure your battery is'nt dead.
Hey guys, feel kinda stupid now, it's the alternator belt, or lack there of. Seems it has snapped and now isn't there. Sure explains the popping noise. A moderator can remove this topic.
