Ill start off by saying that it first happened two days ago when i turned onto my friends street. When going down the street I noticed my red battery light was on and my volt meter was at 18v's. I shut off the car and coasted down the road. When I got to his house I started it back up and everything was ok and the volt meter was reading where it normally does.
So the day after which was yesterday, I brought my battery and alternator to autozone and everything checked out fine.
Tonight when I was bringing my girlfriend home, as I was leaving I saw my lights get brighter and it was at 18v's, then it steadied out and then it went lower in volts to probably around 10 or so. Then it came back up and steadied out.
What does this sound like to you?, I wish it didnt pass at autozone so I could have just gotten a new one. To me it sounds like a voltage regulator or something of that sort. I also do have a spare alternator laying around so i might toss it on but then I still cant get a new one from autozone.
