Electrical Problem

Hello.

Was pulling out of my parking lot the other day when the car just shut off in drive. So restarted it. An noticed that rear light bulb warning came up. Pulled back into my spot. Noticed that the sunroof and windows were slower. Turn on the head lights, the rpm drop for a quick second. Pop my hood the alarm went off an I always have it off. Check my terminal noticed the positive was little lose. Tightened it. Start it back up same problem.


Any ideas? Thanks guys

I would check voltage at the battery with the engine off and then check the charging voltage with a multimeter with the engine running. Sounds like maybe alternator going out. Let us know what you get with the tests!

Good luck...
