If you suspect an alternator, then test and charge the battery first and then use a digital voltmeter across the battery with the engine idling to see if it's charging or not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. sten User Oct 31, 2009, 7:48 AM Post #3 of 4 (2611 views) Re: dimming lights Sign In Sorry, I meant easy for you, for all I know it could be something else Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Oct 31, 2009, 11:26 AM Post #4 of 4 (2606 views) Re: dimming lights Sign In sten; From the symptoms and 'noises', I'd check the serpentine drive belt, belt tensioner, and associated pulleys (i.e. water pump, idler, ect.)
