Several warning lights (transmission dificulty)
My son drives a 1994 Rodeo that he just recently purchased from an individual. Last week he noticed the batery, and transmission lights along with a couple of others. The transmission then began to exhibit difficulty shifting. The voltmeter indicated just over 8 volts. I charged the battery and took it in for a charge test.
The test showed ~ 13.86 volts with the air, radio and lights on. It also indicated 68 amps under load. After one week with no problem, he called from work and said the voltage just dropped to barely over 12volts but otherwise running OK. I had him turn off the radio, and air. The voltage stayed the same.
He also stated the air was making an odd sound. I haven't heard it yet myself but will tonight. I am planning to take it for an other charge test while it it still running and hopefully before the symptoms disapear.
Any thoughts?
Jim
