driving home the other day, my stereo went dead. when i pulled in i realized the battery was dead. it was too bright to see that i had 3 dash lights lit, check engine, transmission and the generator light. the battery meter was showing about 10 volts.

i ordered the workshop manual from jcna shoppe.

just wondering if anyone has any ideas. it crossed my mind i might have bad grounds, or the trans module might not be getting full voltage. or am i being too optimistic?

the car ran fine, shifted normally

Andy, Have you checked to see if all your belts are tight and/or even in place.
