nurkvinny Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You probably know this already, but most parts stores will check your charging system for free. Have them get a reading on your alt. and load test your battery. Easiest and cheapest place to start. I have a load tester, but it's in Zanesville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You need to off load that piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest p0rnstar Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Probably the alternator if the battery is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson number one: don't speak about something which you are absoutley clueless. Come back tommrow and I'll teach you something else.

As I(Service Director at a car dealership)see it, his statement would be only more correct if he said "possibly" the alternator. Obvious, but not incorrect. The logical progression is after an inspection of the battery cables and connections, and the load test of the battery, is an inspection of the fusible link between the alt. and starter to make sure the connections are clean and tight, and the wire is not "open". Then a charge test to see if the alternator's amperage and voltage output are in spec, and also if the diode pattern is good. Most of the testers used at the auto parts starts are ARBST testers, which also measure the starter's amperage draw. If all these tests are passed, then I would recommend seeing a "trained" technician. Come back tomorrow and I'll teach you humility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on that one. tongue.gif I was just trying to state, in a not so nice way, that saying it was the alternator was a huge jump in logic. There's almost nothing that irritates me more about working on car than throwing parts at a problem and not taking a logical approach, like you suggested. I think it was a baby armadillo.
