On the way to work this morning, the throttle control light started blinking and the charge system light came on solid.
After I parked, it restarted fine. The throttle control light went out but the charge system light stayed on.
restart #2... Click Click Click...
The alternator had been making noise especially when cold and it's dusted with the red dust. That is my cheif suspect.
Am I on the right path?

That was probably it. Napa was the only one in town with one in stock so I replaced the alternator. Clutch was totally shot. Free wheeling and crunchy. The shaft under the clutch cover was discolored like it had gotten really hot. That was probably the smell I smelt when I started up this morning.
Now waiting for the battery to give out... :grim:

Yep, my liberty has an "eccentric" alternator pulley at the moment....had to be wobbling like crazy but the previous owner didn't pay attention to maint at all so not sure why I thought he'd notice something obvious!

You should upgrade the alternator pulley if you plan on keeping it.......or just really keep an eye on it!
