For the last couple of weeks my check gauge light will turn on and my battery gauge will drop. It was only occasionally, until one day everything dies while i was driving. I took out the alternator and ran a couple of tests on it, everything seemed fine. So i had my battery tested and it was bad. Bought a new battery and within a day my gauge was dropping and check gauge light is back on. It seems that when i start the car the gauge is at around 11 volts, but within a mile it drops all the way dwn (to 9 volts). The last couple of days it was normal, right at 14, but that didnt last, its down again.

Could this be a bad gauge? I would think thats one hell of a coincidence that the jeep also died. Iv e also heard about the voltage regulator, but wouldnt the alternator test catch that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont want to have totake outthe alt again if i dont have to. So far since the new battery everything runs normal, just the gauge and light issue. Btw, its a 97 country.

Thanks
