So this started happening today, I turn the jeep on, starts right up all gauges are normal, everything is fine. I drive for about a minute then the check gauges light comes on and the battery gauge goes all the way down to nothing. Radio and everything still works fine. I have noticed though that the windows have been kind of sluggish. Is my alternator about to go out? Thanks.

 

This happened to me before Thanksgiving. I ignored it cause everything seemed fine. The batter tested normal and it ran fine. Then 1 week later it did it again and the alternator went leaving me stranded. I just thought the gauge was going bad. Nope! It was the alternator. Hope this helps!

 

Ha yeah that's what I'm afraid of. I want to think its just the gauge and everything's fine but I definantly don't want my jeep breaking down somewhere. Thanks.
