  • alternator maybe?

    i heard an odd sound coming around my alternator, its like a screeching/whining sound. Also, the battery power on my cluster drops from full to less than half, then goes up a little bit and then the battery power begins to go down like its being drained, my interior lights dimmed temporarily. Anyone know why??

        yea i haven't used my car in like a month bc of a broken cable, its just been sitting there and idk if the temperature would have an effect on it since its been extremely cold in the last month.

            i let it run for about a good 20-25 min, whining noise went away after about 10-15 min but my battery started to drain a little. I pulled the car out and while i was doing that was when the battery indicator went back and forth.
