Alt. or voltage regulator
For the past while when I turn on my turn signals my alternator gauge would tick or move along with the blinkers.
Today while sitting at a train crossing the truck just shut down, zero power.
Prior to shutting down with the truck running the only power I had on was the headlights and radio.
I pushed her back messed with my cables, nothing.
Then I jumped across the starter solenoid and the starter engaged. I went back into the truck and had full power and she started as normal.
I did turn the heat, lights and radio on and noticed that the alt gauge went down.
Is it my voltatge regulator or the alternator????
