tornado_735 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I am beginning to notice a whine from under the hood. It isn't too bad, but it gets louder when there is a heavy strain on the battery. The times it is the worst is at idle, when I have the headlights or the rear defroster on. It's not annoyingly loud, but it's definitely there. Also, when sitting at idle, I can see the headlights...not exactly flicker, but dim and brighten every few seconds. Might this be indicative of an alternator that is possibly on it's way out? I have no other charging issues that I know of, and I do not have any numbers (voltage wise) yet.

Andrew Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 sounds like it to me. Also look for your gauges to do very strange things. meanwhile check and clean your battery connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
