[QUOTE="mast240, post: 7407854, member: 631695"] its not likely... but could happen... depending on the car. (not sure what you got) ... pontiacs are notorious for those types of issues... i doubt it is your battery, cuz you said u tested it at 12v, and for it to affect the accessories and management systems on your car, you'd have to be running down below 7-8v ... but, thats why i said to pull the positive... will tell you for sure if your alt is shot... if your car dies immediately once you pull it, its shot. if nothing happens... get your battery tested for a bad cell (which i doubt, but you always want to remove the simplest solutions first when trouble shooting)... from there, you'd have to take it to a shop, cuz it would be alot more trouble shooting than could be done online [/QUOTE]
