My son has a 2003 Liberty (3.7L, Auto., A/C) with 75,000 miles. Driving home today the battery and engine lamps illuminated. The battery was replaced last spring. The battery and alternator terminals are clean and tight. Everything is original. Bad alternator? Other things to check out?

Here's a pretty simple check. Grab a voltmeter, get the static state of charge. Then start the car, if the voltage stays exactly the same its usually the alt.

Took the alternator in for bench test and it PASSED. Re-installed and everything is good now. W T H

Brushes may have been stuck (worn down) and in the process of r&r they were jarred loose.
