Seems like I am posting a lot more this year and we are back with a new problem.
On the drive home I noticed two things, when starting my car my aftermarket radio had lost all its settings but the car clock was ok, and that my car was charging lower than normal, sitting around 14.3-14.4v when it would normally charge at 14.7-15.0v. after sitting at a light and started to move through for my turn the car started to surge. The best way I can explain what I experienced was like the car was rapidly losing all power amd regaining it. Pulled over on the side of the road turned on the hazards and shut off the car. When I shut off the car it lost all power, no hazards or anything. Turned the key back to accessory and lights came back and my battery was sitting at 11.4v.
Opened the hood to poke around and the lights went out again. Inspection of the fuse box on the driver side showed 1 melted 30A fuse (pink/red). Power came back on on its own when I was speaking with a local SC guy. Pulling and putting the fuse back in seemed to do nothing. Decided to try and start the car, it started and ran as i limped it home. On the rest of tye way home charging dipped as low as 13.8v
So im going to guess I have 2 issues, 1 is alt and the other I am unsure. The car was running a higher out alt which was why I charged at 15v and because of this my battery light is always on.
Any help like normal is appreciated.
