Well i just got back from limping the Santa Fe home. I noticed the lights were dim and the TCS and battery lights were on and out of now where the suv almost shut off. Well i got it home and as soon as i tried to turn it back on,and the click...click.... noise said "No start"
Well i went back out and opened the door and the inside light came on,but still no start. So could this be the battery or alternater?

Sounds like the alternator could have gone out and killed the battery. Just jump start it and disconnect the positive side of the battery to self-check the alternator. If it still runs then check the battery.

I unhook'd the +side of the batt. and the truck stall'd. So it looks like the alternator.
Thanks
