Well I'm pretty sure my GF's alternator is bad, but is there anything I should check besides the terminals? The car will die if you stop and have the ac on at the same time. The battery light comes on lightly at idle. I had the battery checked and they said its fine though. All she has is a 500watt amp anda 560watt amp. Hardly ever turned up though and it will happen with it off.

 

Take it to Discount and have them test it.

 

Yup, Take it off and take it to discount

 

Or leave it on and put a voltage meter on your terminals. If your system shows more than 13.5 volts at over 1500 RPMs then you are fine.

Many cars if they have the a/c on can not keep their systems fully charged at idle.

If you are dying at idle with the a/c on it could be other things besides your alternator.

 

Well I hate working on this car because its a FWD V6 so I'm not taking it off, lol.


What else could be the problems? The battery light is on and it gets brighter as bass hits so I know its battery related.
