Other symptoms it's exhibiting do point to low voltage or amperage situations. When my batt went belly up last week, it was still barely turning over and would start, but the needles sat there and jumped for a second and the trip ODO reset, until the alternator gave it enough voltage/amperage to work properly. If he's got a double problem of a batt that's given up because an alternator isn't properly charging it, there wouldn't be a recovery to the system from the alternator making up the shortfall of power needed. Make sense?
