My brother-in-law had the battery eating mimic problem years back.

We showered it with fireballs.

turned out to be bad diode in the alternator.

Thanks for that insight! I might mention that possibility when we take it in.

Looks like just the alternator (and battery, of course), so I’ve been at the garage since 7:30 waiting for them to finish the repair. Won’t be cheap, but as repairs go, at least it’s (relatively) affordable and relatively quick.

Gotta love it when you are bringing the car to the shop and it quits on the way. My first car did this just as I got on the highway.

I was there from 7:30-11:30, and the bill was slightly over $700. He had the parts on hand, so I decided to wait instead of getting a rental. And while they weren’t the worst ever, their waiting room seats were NOT all that comfy.

But it could have been worse, so I’m fine. Bruised in the wallet, but fine.
