Last thursday I was making my normal 30min commute to Franklin, TN from Murfreesboro where I live. On the way up, my check engine and check gauges lights come on and the voltometer is dead, reading 9volts. I pull over, with it still running, listen and look under the hood and everything seems fine.
That night as it would be parked, it would idle over 1k rpm with slight surging. as if it was trying to charge the battery.
Friday morning I'm driving to work and the windows are extremely slow rolling up and my head unit, which is turned off, keeps flashing the screen on and off. My digital odometer gets really dim just as if the alternator is going out.
From here I figured the alternator died and the jeep had been running off of the optima red top battery. Autozone tested my alternator and said it was reading 14.5-15volts but the internal bearings could've gone out.
They said it could be a fuse. I've been told it's prolly the computer. I've also been told there could be a bad ground somewhere. Does anyone know exactly what could possibly be going on?!
