No

Driving on a dead alternator quickly becomes not driving

Because if the alternator is dead the car will die while it’s running

From experience, not fun

@Squirrel2412 you and one other person (forget who lol) locktown

Other than that, no

me

No

I assume by bad they mean “still in working condition, just discharging a bit too fast”
But if they don’t respond I’ll pay funeral bills

Ah, would you look at that! Funeral bills averted.

Well the alternator is what keeps your battery charged and without it you can jump a car but it won’t stay alive while driving

but i don’t know that that’s the wrong thing? i mean

i left a light on in my car and needed a jumpstart two days ago, i drove to work (like a 30 minute drive) and then it wouldn’t drive home, so i got a jump and drove home, the moment i turned it off it wouldn’t turn on again

but the batterturns on, just not the engine

OH
Yeah no do not drive rhatb

so someone told me it was my starter and someone told me it was the alternator

If it’s not getting charge from a 30 minute drive either the alternator or the battery is fucked

That latter person sounds wrong

But if your commute is short enough it’s theoretically possible it could be the alternator

Really though if that’s dead dead I’d expect the car to die while you’re in it not while it’s sitting around

Oh no
My non-straightness is beginning to show

So is Dwai someone I know?

Sorry this is bugging me slightly

the car also says !STARTING SYSTEM but idk if that’s just one of the things that are like, just there and then turn off when the engine starts

this last sentence makes no sense lol
