Alternator might need to be replaced or i need multimeter scan for car

Jan 13th 2026
I might or might not need a diagnostic I think I know what the problem is and might need a quote, but i’m no professional of course. I also have a video of the incident that occurred. my entire electrical system started to glitch out as soon as i got off the freeway to go home. My steering wheel started locking on me and the car eventually shut down completely. i got it jump started, 2 minutes later the car completely died so i asked my grandfather since he has experience in being a mechanic and it can most likely be the alternator. The alternator drained the battery so I went to get a new battery so that i can get the alternator fixed because i'm aware the new battery will just be drained if i try it with the old alternator. I let the car run for a few minutes and the battery light stayed on for some time. I even tried using my own OBD Il scanner it shows no codes but the battery light is still there and that just worries me. I believe I really need my alternator replaced and that's all. If need be, I will buy an alternator part if that's easier, but i'd like both quotes with & w/out the part. Im not sure what it can really be, because when i got the new battery the light keeps flickering on & off and my scanner is not showing anything is wrong with the car when i know it is. I asked my grandfather to check the Alternator "Excite" Wire but he had to travel back home. He told me to ask around for whatever shop I go to check the wire since the small plug on the back of the alternator can sometimes get brittle or loose. If that plug isn't making a solid connection, a brand new alternator still won't charge the battery.

What do car inspection services include?
Car inspection services range from general check-ups of a vehicle’s status and performance to more specific assessments of its history and licensing. This is usually done regularly, either for maintenance inspections or assessing the car’s condition before putting it in the market or transferring its ownership. Here are some services that you can expect when you book a car inspection through Airtasker:
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Prior to buying or selling a used vehicle, one of the most important tasks to accomplish is a pre-purchase car inspection. Aside from giving you a basic rundown of what needs repairing, it can also supply you with the information necessary to attach a reasonable price tag for the vehicle being checked. Car warranty inspections are often a part of this process and can also be valuable input for a buyer to take note of before they make their final decision.
Pink Slip Inspection
Vehicles more than five years old are the usual target for #pink slip inspections or E-Safety checks. When registering your car, your renewal papers might indicate the need for this. Upon doing so, an inspector can verify that your vehicle is road-worthy—allowing you to register your car for the year accordingly.
Blue Slip Inspection
Blue slip inspections check the roadworthiness of unregistered vehicles that fall under the following scenarios:
- Autos that haven’t been inspected for the past three months
- Vehicles with no number plates
- Automobiles that have undergone significant adjustments in registration records
- Cars that have been imported from overseasÂ
This process ensures that your car will be ready to get back on the road once the registration has pulled through.
Car Interior and Exterior Inspection
Any dent, scratch, or damage can make or break a car's overall appearance, which is why it's imperative to get a thorough interior and exterior inspection. Hire an expert to check every nook and cranny of a vehicle—from its exterior paint, headlights, and tyres to the dashboard and upholstery. Should any issue arise during the procedure, you can also book a professional #car detailing specialist to give an automobile the showroom quality it deserves.
Engine Inspection
An engine inspection or a car diagnostics test can spot all sorts of car problems even before they occur, sparing you and your vehicle from further damage and more costly repairs in the future. An expert mechanic will check all the essential car parts like the brakes, alternator, cooling systems, gaskets, battery, and suspension, among others. Electrical wirings will also be inspected to ensure that every connection is in its proper order.
