Ok, before the problem happened my voltage has been reading pretty high. All started when I hit a dip. I tried cornening it but still scraped pretty nasty.
Well that day my voltage was reading 14.5, higher than my normal 14.1-14.2v...than the end of the day my brake light stays on. Next day voltage jumped to 15.1-15.2v and stayed, then dropped to 13.9v. Alternator light would fluctuate on and off. But car started up normal everytime until now. It's a 5 month old brand new alternator so before I jumped to that I changed the plugs, wires, and checked the battery.
Nothing happens. Fuses ok. The connection to the alternator is a little loose but will that affect start up? Coil pack is my next guess but with the symptoms I described earlier does that sound right?
