While going through the CVS drive thru earlier tonight my battery light decided to come on. I revved up the engine and it went off.
Driving home I noticed the lights going dim. As I would slow down the battery light would come on again.
When I got home, I turned the engine off and it restarted just fine, but the battery light came on until I revved the engine.
I'm thinking the alternator is going bad. I checked all the connections, and nothing is loose or corroded. Belt is fine and not slipping.
A friend is coming over in the morning to check my electrical system. Who else thinks it's the alternator?
