89 4.0 auto
So driving yesterday, voltage meter starts to drop. finally it end up in the red next to the 9
1. got out and pulled the neg cable from the bat and the engine died. (thinking its the alt). well, vehicle started right back up still reading 9volts. when i put on the gas the meter would raise about a volt.
2. headlights never dimmed, but the dash lights dimmed over time.
3. when i put on the turn signal the power to the radio cut out.
was able to drive it with the lights on 200 miles. so thinking alt is still good.
figure i have a loose cable somewhere. going to go over the complete assy from bat/alt all the way into cab. Anyone have an idea where to look for an issue liek this?
