Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 1938 Registered: Jan-06 | fisrt make sure all of the battery terminals are tight. it the batts got a good charge and you had it tested then the problem probly lies in the starter. try hitting the cylinoid with a wrench while you start it. if that doesnt work you probly need a new one. |

I thought my batterys were dead and after switching out 3 new batterys, I tested the alt. and found out it wasn't charging the battry at all! |

Bronze Member Username: Sinful_systems70Post Number: 92 Registered: Nov-06 | If your alt is no good then the battery could not be getting gharged. Battery was drained after alternator failure so battery should not have tested "good". Could have recharged some but not enough from making you car not start or tun over to testing good. I would check terminals, the starter solinoid, starter, and ignition. Does the car: click, turn, turn slow , or nothing at all? Does any lights or accessories work? |
