still a battle to be won but now its down to my alternator. got it checked @ napa and it failed!!!! but when took to the alternator guy to get it rebuilt he tested it and it was just fine! gave everything a good look over and he said its in great shape dont see why it would fail. grrr so now he told me to check out the power and ground wires that were running to it cause he sees it usually being the culprit on most vehicles. well now my question is how many volts should i be running around there?? i dont know the wires names exactly so sorry if this post is a hit and miss

Your alternator should push 12+ volts at all times.

NAPA prob told you that to get a sell, should be pushin around 12to 13+/-.

My dad had an problem with his alt. had it tested on the jeep and off it passed. I had it tested when it was acting up it failed. So we changed it out and the problem is fixed
