I need some help bad, my car died on me for what seemed to be my alternator, because my battery went dead. I replaced my alternator as it was actually bad. but now I still have the same problem...
I tested the old alternator and it was bad. So of course I bought a new alternator assuming that would fix the problem. Drove it to work and back and lights went dim, rpm gauge went out. after a total of 30 mins of driving. I checked my fuses, and they're all good. All my wires seem to be intact. also I have heard our alternators need battery power to run at all. Any truth to this?
