Once again....got another issue I can't solve. I know a good deal about cars, but I'm not an expert either. Ok, so this morning my girlfriend drives me to work with no issues whatsoever. She gets home, turbo timer does its job, no big deal. She goes out to run some errands and car won't start. She gets out, locks and unlocks the car again, and still to no avail. All lights come on, but won't turn over. Then out of nowhere, the alarm starts going crazy and my turbo timer starts making this weird high pitched noise. So she disconnects the turbo timer, resets the alarm and tries again. Nothing. Car will jumpstart just fine, but if you turn the car off, it won't restart; which tells me its an alternator problem right? Then on my way to autozone to price a new alternator, the car almost dies on me, with lights inside flickering, when I tried to turn on the radio and A/C. Sorry for being a noob but I want make sure its not something else before I spend $250 on a new alternator. So reason I'm asking the question is because I've never experienced the near stallouts, and alarm going haywire. Does this sound like an alternator problem? Or could there be an electrical problem somewhere?
