Alright now I just can't figure this out....everything's been good until today...driving home i'm realizing my dash lights are getting dim, my radio stops working.....I htink lovely its gonna be a cold night....barely make it to the canadiantire with my wife waiting there with the spare battery.
Now I just bought a new alternator and battery a few months ago, put in the new battery there and I assumed it was the alternator. HOWEVER, my typical test for alternator failure was to start up the car with the new battery and disconnect it while the car was running. I expected the car to die however it just kept on running....... :huh:
Any ideas on why this battery drained, while the alternator apparently is outputting voltage???
