Just found out last night that our alternator is dead. At least I think it's the alternator. You hear nothing when you turn the key but most of the dash lights still light up, foot well leds still light up, grounding kit is barely lit, wouldn't jump using a battery pack and the Optima is less than a year old. So am I right?

I think in most case's if it's the alternator the car will still start the battery just will not charge. It sounds like it may have to do with the starter if your not hearing anything.

Thanks Mike. Paul, no clue what the battery voltage is. I'll see if one of the mechanics will let me borrow whatever I can use to test it. And no it will not start while jumping. Basically some of the lights will light up and there's no sound at all when trying to start or when trying to start while jumping.

Yeah that seems to be the verdict. Paul gave me a couple tips to see if that's the case. So we'll see, I'll keep everybody updated.

Mike is correct. Have your battery load tested. It probably died. Optima isn't exactly what they used to be. IMHO, check your battery, then your alternator. Remember, your battery is only a storage device to start your car. Your alternator provides power when your engine is running.

Ok I'll check all possibilities when I get a chance. With me getting home at 9-9:30 every night after a 12 hour day doesnt make it easy.
