Someone once told me "Don't drive a GN without your toolbox". I took the GN out today to run a couple of errands and got caught by an electrical gremlin
. My ride was going fine for about 20 minutes then I noticed my tach started acting a funny, the needle started jumping around and then dropped to zero. At first I thought it was or loose connection or something or maybe the crank sensor on its way out but the car still ran fine. I started to get a little nervous and hit the gas a couple of times and it started missing when I built a little boost (3-5lbs). So I drove over to the right lane on the service road and stopped at a light and I can feel the car starting to die on me. No idiot lights were flashing or anything. 10ft past the light the GN died. Put it in neutral to restart it and I had what sounded like a dead battery. Pushed the car to the side and let it rest for about 5 minutes and still nothing. Checked the battery connections and everything was still tight. I just put in a new Optima battery 2 weeks ago and at the same time I checked the alternator voltage, it was 14.5 volts at the post to ground. I'm thinking the alternator died and the car was running on the battery and when that ran out, the car died. When I turn the key to "on" I didn't hear the fuel pump prime. Tomorrow, I'm going to put a in fresh battery in it and see what happens and hopefully nurse it back home. If not, flat-bed the B---h home.
Two questions;
How come the volt idiot light didn't come on when the altenator or battery started dying? Before when I turned the switch "On" not starting it, the volt light illuminates, so I know the bulb is ok.
Where are the fusible links?
