Well, this past week the amp light has stayed on a little longer when I first start up the car, needing to be revved up to closer to 3000 before it turns off, rather than the 2000-ish that it used to turn off at... Then today, it didn't turn off. And then it turned off, but turned back on, and is now always on. I checked the voltage, a lovely 12.2-ish.

I'm going to swap out the alternator as when I hit the alternator with a big screwdriver it made the voltage jump around crazily. Which would definitely point towards the alternator.

We'll see what happens!
