I recently bought a 98 dodge stratus 2.4l, and had no problems til the other day on my way to work the lights got dimmer and the dash lights finally went out and the call stalled. I thought Alternator and removed it and had it tested, to my supurise it was just fine, then the battery light has been comming on and i took out the battery and had it tested it was fine just low charge, so charged it up and still having battery light come on and gaguages getting dim.... any help on what else I am missing?? thanks
Check that all the grounds are good. If either the battery or the alternator grounds are bad, worn, or even just loose, it's as good as not being connected at all. Since the car STARTED, I would say to focus on the alternator ground points. Disconnect, clean, and replace as necessary.
