Dear List, while out shopping and driving my D, I noticed that the battery light was on and the power gauge was gradually decreasing [even when giving the car gas] so the shopping trip was cut short and on the way home [about 200 ft from the house] the gauge went to zero and the engine cut off. I coasted the car to the side of the road and my husband jumped [by the way do you realize how humiliating it is to jump a Delorean with a minivan??] the car and gave it enough juice to quickly get home. Jeff thinks it is the alternator because we replaced the battery about 2 weeks ago. Any other ideas of what could be wrong and how hard is it to install an alternator yourself? thanks for your input!
