I had something interesting happen yesterday.
I noticed when I started the car and drove off that when the quick self diag test of the ABS module kicked in (which is at I believe 5kmh), the power was gone for a split second (radio turned off an on again for example), much like what happens with the high beams. Also the ABS light briefly lit up during that.
Later I drove on a gravel road and braked hard to activate the ABS and guess what, the car sputtered and shut off.
So back to the ground point on the inner fender, as the ABS module connects to the same point.
I wiggled the 3 ground cables that connect to the plate while having the high beams on and they were flickering a bit, so it had to be still an issue there.
I removed the plastic connector on each ground cable and cleaned the connectors, they were all a bit oxidized with green patina.
I also thought they were a bit loose on the plate, so I pinched them a bit with pliers to have a stronger contact.
After that I couldn't get the car to stall, but I'm still not 100% confident about it. I'm still scared to switch the high beams on at night... I just hate intermittent issues like this.
The other thing is the alternator, I measured the voltage with pretty much everything turned on and I only measured 11,95V at the battery at idle...
It measures around 13,6V with the lights, seat heater and heater fan on though, which is pretty much everything I usually have on all the time.
So, I guess my alt is bad? Should I replace the regulator first before I throw a new alt at it, or is that not an issue that could be caused by that?
Thanks once again for all the replies in this thread, I'm pretty sure I would have lost track a while ago.
Still learning about all this, so excuse any noobish mistakes.
