Well...the alternator is dead...AGAIN! I didn't drive the car yesterday at all...went to take it to autozone today and the check engine light had cleared...but the battery light kept coming on and going off. So the guy checked the battery at autozone and said it was fine then he pulled the neg terminal off and the car died. So the alternator is shot. I was able to get the car home then turned it off...wouldn't restart. cickcickcickcick. The ole' dead alternator click. I even tried jumping it just in case it was the battery...no dice.
I have alternator #2 pulled off..was able to remove it in about a half hour..MUCH faster the second time! So now I have to get a ride up to the store and have them exchange it. I will probably bring my battery up there and have them put it on a trickle charge too since I think its dead now. I wonder if running the battery down killed the alternator? I might see if I can get them to switch out my battery for a new one..hmm..wonder if they would?
Isn't this car so much fun?!
