Hi guys,
I had my system for nearly 3 years now--everything has been fine. However, recently my battery died several times when sitting over night or for a while after work. I used my jumper to jump it off approximately 3-4 times. My battery has close to 800 CCA's, fairly new, and in good condition. My altenator-when checked at a local auto parts store was just at 13.48-- the guy told me any thing over 13.50 is good. My headlights and interior dim at idle and stop signs, and becomes brighter when I drive.
My system is now shutting off when I turn up the volume and reach a stop light. It comes back on when I drive. Finally, my brake and battery guage lights comes on very dimly at idle/stop lights, and cuts back off while I drive. WTF is going on??????
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
JL
