last night when i was driving home i had the voltage drop to around 10-11 amps, when i finally got home and shut the car off, the battery was acting dead, it still had enough juice to turn the car over, but it wouldn't start it...
now in the morning i went out did nothing but disarm my alarm, and i went in and it turned over fine, not even a slight chug...
now later in the day driving, i parked my car for about 5 minutes, went back in turned it on and now the red light beside the voltage meter, and my e-brake light are on steady now while driving, i can't find anything anywhere about that being an error code or anything, now one thing i know for sure is my e-brake IS disengaged, i stopped completely a few times and played with it, fully engaging it and then disengaging it, the e-brake light still does not go off...
now with the voltage light, it doesn't look like it's running any lower than barely under 12 amps, the car starts fine etc... has done so a few times now over the course of a couple hours, i've disconnected everything stereo-wise, i've been checking my grounds they all look fine, the alarm goes on and comes off no problem, do you guys have any tips for me? im really really really confused...
my car is an 84 P-Type Automatic, this problem has just come out of the blue at me, usually it's my stereo drawing to much current if i see the voltage drop like that, so that's always the first thing i disconnect...
any help would be greatly appreciated
