Alternator crapping out on me?
Sunday, July 19, 2009 12:17 PM
So today I see my abs light come on while I was driving. I stop turn it off then try to start it. Battery is dead. Then I jump it and it dies after 2 min. Then I jump it about 3 hours later and drive it home and turn it off then it starts normal. It held a charge for a while and now im sitting in my car with it doing the same electric @!#$ as before.

Im thinking a bad connection or the alternator but not sure. Any ideas?


I'm about to go tear into it and see if there's any lose connections.

Not yet. Cleaned up all the connections its on the battery charger right now then I'll start it and see how its doing from there.

if u can get it to an autozone they will test it for free. and if you have charged your battery a few times and its not a deep cell type battery your likely going to need a new battery as well. but get the alt issue fixed first.

It was the alternator. Battery is fine. Replaced the alt on monday and no problems since.
