Things to check before replacing alt.
So last night while stuck in traffic I noticed my lights (dash and heads) were dimming when my car idles...then I would give a little gas and inch forward then it lights back up...since traffic was stop and go I would put my car in park and slightly rev my engine to keep everything lit until I could inch forward...sooo finally made it home...this morning I wake up to go check on my car I notice the batery post were corroded and one was even deteriorated a bit. Went to start the car and it didnt start the first two times, third time it did...drove to autozone, battery checked out good, starter checked out good, alternator failed. But I was wondering if there was anything else I could check before swapping alternator out...I replaced terminals already
