[QUOTE="pks71, post: 899058, member: 555120"] You NEED to trouble shoot and find the problem! You can seriously damage electronics of your car with the way it is!! When adding more current draw(amps) to your elect sys. you may exceed it and it will fail. A higher output alt is the 1st thing to do. If your battery is leaking.....man get that looked at ASAP! Can you do stuff on your own? Got a meter? 1. measure the voltage of your battery with car off. good battery with car off will read 12.6volts. then measure with car on. check with your dealer to know what the voltage should read. All the cars I've had read above 13.5 volts. Doing this simple test I think will show you a problem will the alt. And if your battery is leaking, obviously replace that as well. Do NOT lollygag. Do it NOW! [/QUOTE]
