signs of a bad altenator??

01-04-2004, 06:50 PM

What are the signs of a bad altenator? My abs inop light came on with no other lights. brakes work fine (even the abs- had to test them :D ).
I had noticed that my lights seem to dim a little at night when I hit the brakes, turn up the stereo real quick, or turn on the heater.
Now the car won't even start. No accessories gauges . . nothing. won't turn over or anything.

thanks in advance
