I was driving my 96 legacy wagon 2.5 GT for about twenty minutes when suddenly all the guages turned off including the radio, I think the only light on was the ABS light. Then a few moments later all went back on. A few moments later, I swear it was when I pressed the brake, out again. Then the engine started having trouble and died as I was pulling up to my house, Thankfully!! Later it started up fine. The Battery reads 12 V. While running the battery reads 12.8. Should it be 14-15V if the Alternator is working correctly. Any ideas?

It sounds like a charging system problem to me. Yes the voltage is supposed to be around 14. Autozone checks alternators for free, might wanna try that.

 

 

Charge your battery completely before replacing the alternator, if that turns out to be the problem.
