DonnyJerry Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 My 2012 dj 2.4 has a slight issue! When the abs or traction control kicks in I have a serious dimming of the lights and it actually shut off my infotainment screen on several occasions although it came back on it's own! I've changed the battery and it tests good! It also seems that turning on anything with a significant draw such as the rear defrost will also have this effect! Even with the engine at speed! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 How many miles on your 10 year old ride? CLEAN battery cable ends on the battery AND a good clean negative connection at the drivers strut tower stud are a must Re check them. The 2.4 alternator uses a decoupling pulley instead of a solid pulley found on most other vehicles. It is known to wear out with higher miles (about 80k -100k) and will cause lack of charge output. Sounds like it is time for a proper alternator test to be done and POSSIBLY time for a new alternator. 2late4u and Summer Solstice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
