Hey!
I'm new to the forum so please let me know if this is the right place for this. But I have had an electrical issue where I'll be driving down the road and suddenly the transmission will either cut out or down shift, the door locks start to lock and unlock several times, the engine will stall, and I've noticed the gauge cluster will shimmer while this is happening. Usually after the engine stalls it resets and is back to normal until it goes through this cycle again.
I've replaced the positive battery cable, the alternator (tested bad), and cleaned the negative battery cable and connections. The battery was replaced in Aug of 23 so it isn't even a year old and it tested good. No amount of turning off headlights, radio, A/C, or whatever will prevent the issue from happening
The car is a 2015 Sonic 1.8 automatic, if there's any other information is should provide please let me know. Also please help! I'm at my wits end with this car!
Thank you,
Chris
