About a two weeks ago all the idiot lights on the dash started flickering on and off, then the radio started losing power. Finally last weekend it was having a hard time starting. It would start with no problems if it was sitting for several hours but if i were run it for awhile, stop and then try to start it up again, it would take a while to catch like the battery was dead. I assumed it was the alternator thinking that the battery was being drained after useage not leaving enough juice to start back up.
I bought a battery/alternator tester from Radio Shack which told me my battery was low and my altenator was fine. Replaced the battery and it ran fine for about 3-4 days. Now I am having the same problem again. After usage it is having trouble starting back up. I replaced the alternator 7 months ago, it was done by a auto shop and they used a 'rebuilt alternator', which probably means that it came from a junk yard.
Does this sound like the alternator is dying again or could it be something else?
Thanks
