i did thiz already returned the battery 2 times now but the parts guy is telling me that the alternator is over charging the battery does anyone know anything that would cause this

You've got a major short. From what your saying it sounds kinda like what happens when you put the battery cables on wrong, which a big short could do that. I doubt its your alternator(although a short that big could do some damage to it) as your parking lights come on by themselves. I would pull the fuses for your parking lights and see if its still acting up. But from the lights coming on you have a short, and the battery boiling would be a major short.

overcharging of the bat sounds right ...new alt ....replace it and bat if you need it....i would check the volts and see what you get .. you should get 12.5-14.5 no more ...then that im` guessing you should get 16 volts on your cb.. i`m great with elect problems

[Losiracer2]

the voltage regulator is what controls how much output the alt. gives to the batt. You might as well get a new alt. or a reman one. The volt. reg costs about 110 bucks, and a new reman'd alt. costs 115.

This sounds to me to be more than likely the cause. The battery boiling would indicate a MAJOR short. So, what he said.

also you might have melted wires in your cb ..

did you check the volts on your cb? see any melted wires?

[cb7tunerOttawa]

i have not seen any melted whiles in my cb i cleaned up the post and the batterylight does not comeone anymore but i think i sell have a major short somewhere... when removing the fuse for the parking lights the rear defroster doesn't work...

That'd most likely indicate a short bad ground etc. I had something similar happen to my old Tercel, but junked it before I could get around to checking it out.

[cb7tunerOttawa]

can anyone tell be where the grounds are on the car?
