Well, I have finally figured it out!!! The "hot" wire from the back of the alt. to the batt. was bad. I had the alt. tested again out of the car and it was good, but in the car is wasnt doing its job. So I figured it was that wire. And thank god it was. FINALLY. Dougfl, my little bit of experience would say make sure when you recharge the batt., that it gets fully charged, and normal operating range is like 13 something to 14.5. The battery is 12 so the alt. replenishes it faster than it can drain. Sounds like the alt. is struggling to charge the batt as it is running. What kind and year car is it? Good luck, I ll keep checking in to see how it is going.
