Alternator dying?
Gonna have autozone check it tomorrow, but cant hurt to post
A few days ago I was at work... car idling for heat... light on, reading. I notice the light starts to drastically dim and come back up... check the voltage guage and its swaying back and forth... give it gas and the light is bright as ever and the volts come back up to where they should be. Idle again, start happening again... give it gas, it stops.
The colts and everything are find when I'm moving, and when I'm at a light or such with just the radio on I don't notice the surging too much, just the "normal" amount... just when I put the interior light on also.
Since the problem goes away both when I give it gas and when the car is off... I'm guessing alternator?
Battery is a pretty new (this summer) optima redtop, so I sure hope that's not it... but I don't think so since it's fine when the car is off.
