Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have not checked cables or voltage at battery or alternator yet. What's most likely problem

Or what would cause this to happen would be the voltage regulator in the alternator. Check the voltage at the battery when running like Tom says, there should be like 14.5 to 14.7 DCV at the battery if the alternator is working properly.
