ok, i just got back from school and i am trying to awake my car.
some problems i had last time i was here included the battery light coming on and my car eventually dying.
last thing i did was get the old battery tested and it was deemed to be a "bad battery".
so when i got home i went to sears and bought a vented internationl die hard battery that fits nicely in my 88ix. (my battery is located in the trunk)
now the car starts, but i don't know how long it will because my battery light is coming on again. very faintly when idiling, and bright as i push down on the accelerater. i only turned to car on for about 5 minutes and shut it off.
this sounds like a classic alternator problem, am i correct?
if it is the alternator, i was wondering how i could test it to make sure, if it is something i could do myself, and how much i am looking to spend.
thanks for your help, i really want to get my car movin again.
