[QUOTE="tRiGgEr, post: 1117315, member: 552295"] Here is the deal. My girls car dies on the freeway. Lights all flicker then turn off. Then the car shuts off. The battery dips to 3.8v when trying to start the car, so I get a red top and throw it in there. I start the car up and check the voltage 12.1v. Now I know it's supposed to be around 13.8v so I think the alt is bad. Take it in to AutoZone get it tested at 2 different locations. It's fine?! I put it back in and same problem 12.1v running. Thought it could be the voltage regulator but it's installed in the alt and it tested fine... I'm stumped. Probably end up taking it in to a shop tomorrow. Any Ideas? [/QUOTE]
