Hi all, My dashboard lights have come on twice since I've had the car. It happens only when I start the car and let it idle. As soon as the gas is depressed, they all go out. I searched for what it could be, and what I found was that it was pointing back to the alternator. I was hoping that after I rewired the Positive, ground, and the exciter wire, there wouldn't be any troubles. Six months ago, I replaced the voltage regulator and brush assembly. Belt is tight, no squeals, and the bearing is still 'good'. Drives fine, yet I wouldn't like to be stranded on a long trip.
Is this the sign of a soon to be failing alternator?
Thanks!
