[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 1073100, member: 10830"] ^ good suggestion Junior. I suggest finding a buddy with the same car and swap on the alternator. As long as its not a 03/04 cobra it shouldnt be too difficult. lol. underdrive pullies, voltage regulator, alternator, slipping belt, bad battery, low water in battery, corroded connections, bad wiring, etc. etc. etc. start with the battery. Is it spewing junk from under the caps? (if it is, the alt is going out.) is the water low? (if it is, replace it with *distilled water* only.) are the terminals clean? are both the cables clean, in tact, etc? then move to the alternator. swap it out. that will give you an opportunity to inspect the belt. it also rules out the alternator, voltage regulator, and pulley. (i wouldnt suggest buying a new alternator, just yet.) [/QUOTE]
