Alright the other day i was on my way to the car show and i notice my t/c and my abs turned or somthing with abs and i was like ok just a hickup happens rarely but that it would stay on no matter what i did...........so i get to my buddies house and for some reason then my turning signals didnt want to work i was like..."huh? thats odd"...........so we leave his after packing somethings and my interior lights start dimming while im on the highway and i notice that my battery is draining and i tell myself **** my alternator died...........so at a stop light my car dies.........and my security light turns on.......i was baffled again...... then we push the car to a parking lot i get a jump but the battery still drains...so i take out the battery and take it a local auto parts store........... it checked out to be fine....... now today i take my alternator to check it out and it checked out alright as well what could it be? any ideas ?

Connections on the battery, maybe? Or a broken exciter wire on the alt?

Camaro_ZL2

fleetmgr

Have you measured voltage on the exciter wire?

Camaro_ZL2

Stab a multimeter into the post on the alt if its reading 13.8v then your your alt should be working, to test it under load your will need to take it to a parts store or turn on all the electrical stuff you can in the car.

well we know the alternator is working what else could it be?

Fusible link could be jacked up, I'd check every ground you can, the one next to the coil sometimes breaks or corrodes like a mf'er.
