ALTERNATOR ISSUES

KILLA5OH · 05-02-2001, 06:38 PM

Last week i put in a new battery and my volt Meter registered 14..Which is Normal. But today after a few starts cuz the car has been sitting a few weeks, I let her run each time for about 5 min. On the 5th try to turn her over she went dead and the volt meter register just under 12. Could it be my alternator went and she was running off the new battery till it went dead???? Help me out please.
