Hello,
99xc70 My wife called me yesterday, the car died on the way home from work.
As she was blocking traffic a nice policeman came by and noticed that the positive wire had come clean off of the battery. They put it back on and the car started and she drove home.
Today she called again, the car died. Dead battery. I went to check it out and the alternator seems like it is not charging. Had the car towed home, (thank you AAA) and i charged the Bat. started it up and at 2000RPM i am getting just over 12 Volts at the Battery. I know it should be around 14.5. The alternator is only a few yrs old. Did the Positive terminal coming off while the car was running cause damage to the alternator? Replacing that alternator was a pain, I dont want to do it again.
