I had a peculiar experience on my '92 camry yesterday which caused me to cut my family's shopping short. I'll explain as well as I can. I'm looking for parking around the upper west side manhattan. I realize that my alternator light is coming on and off intermittently and whenever I signal left or right. Try the hazzard and I blinks along with the lights. I pop the hood and check the output to the battery and it alternates between the high 13's and low 14's. Then something catches my eye and freaks me out. As the hazzards blink on, the wire connecting to the top of the alternator turn almost white- hot, then off, then on....etc. Is the car eventually gonna blow up on me?
The alternator was replaced about 4 months ago and I haven't had any problems until now. But like I wrote before, the output to the battery is within normal range. On the way back home, the alt light has stopped turning on even when I tried directionals and hazzards today. Do I need to get a wiring guy involved?
