I hope some of the experts who post here regularly can help me with my problem. About three weeks ago I began having problems with my power mirrors- sometimes it would adjust in but not out, one mirror would adjust but not the other, etc. Then about two weeks ago the truck started hesitating when starting, and now it's to the point where it not only hesitates but the gagues take a few seconds to pop to life and the rear gate window sometimes pops open. I figured it was a weak battery or bad alternator, so I had a free check done at AutoZone and their test confimed that both were bad. So can anyone tell me if the problem started with the mirrors or if that may be a totally unrelated problem? And about how much would it cost to repair/replace the alternator? It's still under warranty, but the deductlble is $100. Would it be more cost effective to have the old one fixed, or should I eat the deductible and have it replaced? TIA for any help.
