musicdj Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 2012 journey, while driving it went dead. had it jumped went about 30 miles and it died again. got it going, and just before it died again the battery light came on. at first I just figured the alternator no good, but I noticed the rpm's were higher than normal. can it be the alternator is over charging. got new battery same thing. no other lights have gone on thanks.

2late4u Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 you need to take it to get the charging system checked before spending any more money you probably have a bad alt if the battery keeps dying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicdj Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 update, I replaced the alternator and it was not much fun. but I think the harder job was to replace the battery. I would like to know how the 6 figure engineer came up with that location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
