Charging system failure
Here I go again on my 98 A4 2.8.
On my way home from work the other night, the battery and brake lights on my dash started to dimly light up. The alternator had been making a high pitched squeaky sound for a while and so I had it replaced this past saturday. The battery is only about a year or so old. When I woke up sunday, the car was dead. Thought I left something on. Jumped it, and drove it throughout the day. Woke up today (Monday) and it was dead again. Jumped it. drove it about 30 or so miles and on my way home, the same 2 lights turned back on. And I was running no accessories or lights. Everything was off. And the indicator on the battery says it's fine. Any thoughts on what to check next? |

Wondered where my reply went!
Look in your other post on the 30V forum... |
Check for a grounding problem.
