Day one, The rav stopped one day in a very weird way in the middle of an intersection. Dash lights when crazy throwing all possible errors, radio died, power steering died, and all power eventually stopped working. I jumped it and was able to drive most of the way home. So I figured it has to be the alternator or battery. We changed the alternator and the store said the battery was good.
Day two, Drove around for about 2 hours and same deal. This time we figure, lets go as far as we can without shutting off the ignition. the car got about 10 miles and as we got further is acted like the alternator just was not charging the battery. Then I figured, turn the AC off. whenm I did that it restored all operations and we got 10 more miles. Then, gradually slowed down until the car could not charge the battery. So We took back the battery and demanded a replacement.
Day tree, Drove around most of the day without issues, and as we pulled in to our home, it stared back up again. Lucky we made it up but I'm out of ideas here? What is going on ?
Oh, I did check the 80 amp fuse. Looks good.
