OK, I went to the post office, a mile away. The battery light came on 1 minute after I pulled out of my driveway. I came home, and checked the connections, which were all good. I re-seated all the connections, and battery cables etc. I let the car run with the blower motor on HIGH, the lights on, rear defrosters on, stereo on, and the voltage level is steady at 11.7v (LOW). It does not drop below this however...(?) The weird thing is this: When I unplug the connector to the top of the alternator (the 3 wired black plug), the battery light goes off, and the battery voltage goes up to 12.8v (still low).
Does this sound like it's time for a new alternator, or do I have a wiring issue somewhere?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
