'89 turbo is the car. The brake, battery, and bulb indicators on the dash are on. So I read up and it's the alternator not charging. I just did a fresh BHG fix, and the alternator wasn't charging. So I bought a brand new alternator and belt which fixed the problem. Then recently the lights came on. While running, the battery will read 12.3-12.8 volts with the lights on, constantly fluttering in between. I thought it was caused by the fuse, which was corroded green. Replaced the fuse Saturday and the lights stayed on for a few minutes, went away for the rest of the day. Yesterday at start up the lights were on, after a short period of time they shut off and didn't return.
This morning when I tried to start it up, it did some weird shit. It was as if the CPS wires were cracked again (which I just fixed). But after the third try of cranking it the car started. Lights stayed on halfway to school, then went off. Lights came back halfway back from school.
The lights would randomly come on while on bumpy road and on smooth road, so I don't know if that helps at all. The wires at the battery terminals are good, so are the ones on the alternator. Could it still be shorting out somewhere along the way? Or could the alternator still be defective?
