so I shift into 4th and hear this CLUNK!
getting on the highway, coming off the on ramp, shift into 4th and I hear a CLUNK! my headlights go dim, dash goes dim, brake light and battery light come on... I turn on my highbeams and my radio turns off. sooooo.... got off at the next exit, turned around and went home. Obviously something wrong w/the electrical... don't think it's the battery 'cuz its pretty new, so maybe something wrong with the alternator? car still starts right now, but it takes the starter motor a couple turns before it catches~ all the aforementioned lights still light up and the lights that should light up are now dim as shiet... any suggestions? How exactly do go about checking the alternator? (I'm clueless when it comes to electricity) I have a FSM for my S14, but all it has is a diagram of the various components of the alternator and the schematics for the wiring... which I can't read (correctly)
