Alternator Problems, needs help URGENTLY!

Post by Oragami »

Hi all,

My alternator is not working normally, I think it either need replacement or re-conditioning. My voltage gauge is often indicating below 12, and my lights are really dim.

Would appreciated if anyone could suggested what I can do?
#Replacement or reconditioning- how much and where?

Regards,
