    Occasionaly as i drive at night the headlights will dim, clock will flash, and the windshield wipers will slow down because the alernator will not charge the battery. Occasionaly when i stop and turn the car off i will come back out to restart the car and it will not start because of the battery being dead and not being charged by the alternator.

    When the problem happened the first time, the radio started turned off by itself. I was in the parking lot of a store. I went in and did my shopping and then went to another store.

Water is obviously getting into the alternator and wetting the power steering…
