    Alternator/Battery? WTF Already Searched

    Alright what the hell. So I randomly pull into my driveway 2 nights ago and as my car idles down I see my lights get very dim, so I turn on the rear window defroster and they go WAY lower. So now when the door open sensor is on there is more of a "bleep" then a "beep". When I start my car it is more hesitant to start but still runs fine, and when starting you can see the dash lights are a little dimmer then they use to be. Is this alternator or battery? 170,082 on the Odom. No alternator switch yet.

    If this is the alternator can someone supply me with a link to how to change it?

    Thanks,
    Adam

          altenators are very easy to replace. the bolt's are a pain in the ass to get to but it is very easy. I can get you a used alt pretty cheap if you need one.

            u can't charge an alternator...can u??? Take it to an auto parts store. They have battery testers and alternator testors. No point in guessing whats wrong just get straight to the point. May wanna check the battery connections to make sure they aren't corroded and also make sure the alternator connections are tight before you go off buying anything

              I would think it is your altenator going out. Once you start the car the altenator is what runs your power the battery is really just to start the car. I would just take it to autozone and have them test the battery and altenator they can test it on the car.

                update, Ok I see the upper bolt, and I see the lower bolt (is in a track). I took out the lower bolt (In the track) out and now I lossened the uppper bolt and the thing won't budge. There are 2 bolts below and infront of the alternator do I need to lossen these? Please any help I need bad! I have to have this done by this afternoon

                  You sir are a gift from God. I found that my Pos. Battery feed was loose, tightened it up and POOF, like nothing was wrong. You are officially signed into my sig.
