Is it my alternator?! Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Funtastic Novice Apr 26, 2012, 1:17 PM Post #1 of 4 (2727 views) Is it my alternator?! Sign In I have a 2008 Scion Xb 4 cylinder 2.4 liter. A few weeks ago my car cut off off goin down the road. The battery light came on then all of them the radio went out then everything came to a puttering halt. A friend jumped me off and it started right up. Went to auto zone the dude tested the battery and alternator but didn't test the alternator until he put a new battery in. Well it did fine until yesterday and the same thing happened. My friend said it sounds like my alternator but I wanted to see what the general census is. Thanks any help is appreciated. dmac0923 Enthusiast Apr 26, 2012, 1:54 PM Post #2 of 4 (2703 views) Re: Is it my alternator?!

Sign In Put a volt meter on the battery terminals with the engine running. You should see somewhere between 13.5 to 14.5 volts if the alternator is charging the battery. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. Funtastic Novice Apr 26, 2012, 4:32 PM Post #4 of 4 (2673 views) Re: Is it my alternator?!
