Thank you, that does make sense. I have already tested the alternator and discovered that it is the issue. Back to the A/C compressor straining the alternator, might this be due to a faulty compressor which strained the alternator to the point where it doesnt fully function? the reason i ask is because i notice that when the A/C is on, the compressor cuts in and out and makes some noises, and it also takes away a lot of power from my car. I know the A/C will take some power but i think it takes a bit too much. That is why I think maybe I have a faulty A/C compressor that needs replacing. Any thoughts.
