HELP! (I Think My Alternator Died)

[CBFryman]

I was driving home from school, playing hte music, when all the sudden my ABS started randomly engagin slowing me down rapidly only i wasnt really slowing down all that much (talking about Spedo read out). i was like WTF, my ABS doesnt engange when im in a 4wheel skid 1/2 the time, i have to pump the brakes myself.

i notice my voltage is dropping mroe than normal with the beat. So i kill the system. Since i isntalled my amp last ive had slight alternator wine. I didnt take note as to wether or not that was still present.

I turned the system back on after it stops and it starts back up agian this time with the battery light flashign and all. So i kill it and drive home thanking the lord my battery had the RC to get me there. Im not 100% positive so i'd liek to hear what you guys think. Alternator? or something else?

Yup. Alternator/voltage regulator.

that is what i thought. Poop.

Well im at work, im fixing to go grab the charger we have around here and charge the battery then, when i get the chance, run down to dicount auto parts and have them test my alternator/battery for free.

Since i was planing on getting a new alternator/battery in the comming months this isnt that bad. However i dont have the cash and i dont have a way to get to and from school/work.

Oh well, ill keep you guys posted.
