check engine light [!] Alternator trigger this?
the reason i suspect alternator off the back is because my voltage also dropped to 10-ish and the red light was on there... so i turned off the radio, and wipers and whatnot, the lights went off, but the voltage was just a hair above 10. (should be 13.9-ish if memory serves correctly) So im wondering if the alternator will trigger that light to come on also.
any troubleshooting i can do to be sure its bad, or should i look at something else first? i have a friends car here, and he doesnt want me to throw his in there (dont ask) but im doing body work and it aint going nowhere so i may just toss his in and see if the problem goes away before dropping 175$
...unless someone has a spare they wanna sell me cheap and can get to me fast... my "backup" vehicle, 94 S-10 is broken and something goofy is wrong with it we still havent figured out.. so im running out of cars to drive to work and school
