Lose charging while driving. Sometimes can restart, sometimes cant
I have a 2002 Blackwood. While driving it appears the alternator stops charging; Voltage guage steadily goes to L, ABS light comes on, chk susp light comes on, radio will turn off and on. If I do not stop and kill the engine it will drain my battery dead. Sometimes restarting will clear it up, sometimes it won't. I dont think its loose wires because just sitting still it will do this on and off. Alternator is about a year old so i don't think it's that. I'm sitting stranded on the side of the road as I type this with the battery disconnected in hopes I can get it to act right long enough to get home! Any ideas?????

Well it was a flakey alternator. Odd that it worked fine 90% of the time then all of a sudden crap out completely only to return to normal again later! I replaced the alternator with a lifetime guaranteed unit from Autozone less than a year ago so I wasn't suspecting it. I guess lifetime guaranty means you will be replacing these for a lifetime!
