    1989 240sx electrical problems?

    My buddy has a single cam hatch and he's having some issues with his charging system.

    1st. The car would not bump start. It would just jump.

    2nd. Car would not keep charge. After we jumped it, I drove about 15 miles. As soon as we got it in the drive way and turned it off, we immediately tried to start it and got NOTHING at all. No idiot lights. anything.

    3. and probably the most weird. After we got it home and jumped it again. When we shut the hood, the car just cuts off. it only stays running with the hood open.

    Halp?

    Maybe the alternator?


    You can have all that shit tested at auto parts stores.

      When the hood shuts the car turns off. That could be an alternator issue?

        That's what I get for not reading the last sentence.
