I pulled off to get gas last night about 150 miles into a 200 mile drive and had very sudden electrical loss. Battery light came on, radio turned off, lights dimmed. I was able to get to the station and after sitting a few minutes I could start again but severely under powered and only lasts about 5 minutes or so. The only symptom I noticed was about 75 miles into this drive the lights seemed to brighten up a bit. I assumed my eyes were playing tricks.
Sounds like an alternator but I'm worried about a larger electrical problem. Anybody have any thoughts?
Seriously looking forward to working on this thing outside in 11°F...
