Okay i went on a 168 mile one way trip and back took 8 hours round trip with only being there for 30 minutes well half way there the battery light cam on and lights dimed to where I could barely see shut the ac off and it stoped well here a few days later and bang it comes back on barly wanted to start last two times then it went off and came back on on the way home from work and then started stalling full threotle was picking up speed about 20mph evey 50 yards well theme stoped running I was told look over all grounds and possative cables for tightness clean terminals then truer to start it and the dummy lights would barly show the tackomiter zeroed out and such when parked a town from I live at a gas station I barly got the Windows up know tell me if I am wrong it would probably be the alternater since it would have still ran after started even with a bad battery since the alternater would stay running to maintain voltage from lack of battery

Okay brand new alternater and battery have been installed I can charge the battery all the way and once I drive for so long and it gets so low it starts doing it again so were can I find a wiring diaphrame for the wires on the charging system to find any loos or broke wires and also is there any type of relay or fuse that can cause this problem I am 100 percent sure it's the charging system since it runs fine when charged and while on jumper cables
