88pathoffroad Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Dead alternator. If you had an automatic the A/T Temp light would be on too. Have it tested before it leaves you stranded on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 that is what i was afraid of but it starts fine every morning is it just slowly going out ??? Could be, I drove another 100 miles on mine when my lights came on signaling alt death. I would advise swapping it out ASAP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 that is what i was afraid of but it starts fine every morning is it just slowly going out ??? That or you have a strong battery that the truck is draining? How far is a normal days drive? Pathfinders seem to want a strong 12 volts or ignition/EFI go to crap. Like said before, check it out before it dies or carry good walking shoes. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
