Since Big Dogs the battery has been dying in the Jeep.. jump it and drive it a bit and it would be good for a few days.. I figured something was draining it.. last night I jumped it and watched the volt gauge.. it was pegged at 19 for a bit...then dropped to 0 for a bit...then pegged at 19 for a bit... over and over.. Does that mean the Alt is dead?

etk300ex:
Most likely but battery may cause odd issues too.  Disconnect the batt with in running and watch.

Wingman:
I'd try a fresh battery first, or at least a different one from something else.

M4wdFab:
start, disconnect, measure alternator output.  should be 14.7ish

cracker:
ok stupid question.. do I just disconnect the + cable from the battery then put the meter between the + cable and the - terminal of the battery?
