K, the car did something wierd last night, while racing my friend the battery light came on right afterwards, It later turned off and I thought nothing of it. I turn the car off for a half hr get back in the car and I cruise around slow at like 30-45 occassionally stoping and going. Out of no were the inside components started to fade out the inside lights fade out speado dies and my car slowly lost juice and died. My friend gave me a jump and I made it about a mile and a half and it did the same. He gave me a second jump and I ended up rolling into my driveway as the car once again died. So I get home take the battery out and throw it on the charger, reads dead. I let it sit all night to a full charge, throw the battery in and drive to the autozone closes to my house. The guy puts it on dynostics and tells me the car reads a charged battery and a altenator that works? I thought it was the altenator but he said it reads fine, he tells me to put on the head lights they go on and then all the sudden there out? My running lights all the sudden dont work the only way my lights work now is with the manual switch on the panel, so the running lights are out now. The guy told me as he was reading that the altenator was giving out 10 amps then was draining 10 amps? He told me he thinks theres a shortage somewhere. So I drive the car home get it on the driveway do the whole inspection drive it around and now for some reason the charging system seems fine but no more running lights? I have no idea whats up with my car and I apologize for such a long post, I would really appreciate feedback asap if possible, O and by the way the car I raced was a 89 gt conv with some boltons and I smoked him, lol.
