New problem, new week. My battery keeps dying. I don't get any light on the dash until the battery is almost dead. Then it just says to check the charging system. The battery holds the charge just fine, but when I drive it slowly loses power. So I had the parts store guy check the battery and the alternator. Both checked out just fine.
Is this a case of the the alternator working for a little while and then once everything heats up it doesn't work anymore? I don't know what else to do short of just replacing the alternator.
Should there be a light that comes on if the alternator isn't charging?
Stumped.
Thanks for looking.
