I have a question. Just the other day my best friend Chris (nismoser) and I were replacing my transmission. (long story) So, we got done, took it for a test drive and noticed my batter light was on. We went back to his house, he broke out the voltometer and it showed that the alternator wasnt working. So, i drive it home with my battery light on and when i just about made it there the batter light went off. Just yesterday i borrowed Chris voltometer and checked it, and it looked like it was back up to around 13.5 to 14 something. Does this make any sense?? Should i replace the alternator to be on the safe side. What do u guys think..?? Thanks in advance.....John.

Mine was intermittent like that. The lights would come on for a while then go away. Eventually, it stayed on and the volt meter registered around 12v.

I replaced it ASAP after that.

See bro? I told ya so. ;) We'll have your new one in by tomorrow night :D

Atleast you're getting some warning that it is about to go out. Mine went out without warning. My suggestion, replace it now while you are still easily mobile.

True, I ordered one up today and chris is going to be the man and pick it up for me on the way to a honda/toyota meet tomorrow!!! :eek:
So, hopefully by tomorrow afternoon, i will finally have my car on the road again. Thanks for the info guys.

Or, if you're REALLY brave, you could call your g/f to drive 30 miles to where you work and follow you home w/ jumper cables. That's what I did. :D

It's just the brushes worn out.
