I have a FRPP aluminum under-drive V-belt pulley with 60 Amp alternator. When driving at 60mph, the amps are positive, but as soon as traffic started moving slowly, the fan would come on and within a few minutes I'd lose the use of the directionals. After driving for about 40 minutes at 60mph, I stopped for gas, and while filling, I had the fan on and the lights (mistakenly) turned on. I noticed that the fan was spinning more slowly by the time I finished fueling so I turned everything off and tried to start the car, but she wouldn't start, just clicked rapidly. I jumped it in 4th and I was good to go. If I am running low amperage in heated traffic, does it make sense that the directionals need a steady 13.8 volts to work properly? Maybe I have an inferior battery.
