battery light/loss of power at high rpm after new alternator
i recently had the alternator replaced with a new one. since then, when i’m driving and i either hit redline or accelerating at high rpm the battery and airbag lights come on and my radio turns off. mechanic can’t figure it out. they replaced the new alternator once already and put in a new battery but no luck. the issue use to happen after 4k rpm but since the battery was replaced, the issue only happens at 6k rpm or at redline. this issue never happened with the original alternator. only happened afterwards. this is a 2000 mazda protege. anyone have any recommendations? tysm
