battery drain

[kouzie]

hey man..car still doing that?

yes...

Could be the alternator. Do this. If you can start the car, while its running, take off the positive terminal from the battery. If your car dies immediately, its the alternator. If your alternator is bad, you're running off straight battery. If that's not the case, check the connection between your battery and alternator. That might be loose. Lemme know how it goes.

x2.

Could just be loose battery terminals.

something is draining the battery when the car is off? Heres what you do. Keep the car off for this!

Take a test light. unhook the postive cable and have the test light complete the circut. ( Battery -> O-------{0}--C <- connector) test light in the middle.

Look at the light if there is draw the light will be bright-ish. Start pulling fuses untill the light dims down. Then you know its that circuit that is draining.

No its not. If its losing power just sitting it is NOT the alternator.

Batter might not want to hold a charge, batter testers lie, unless its a load tester.

draining

Im having the same problem. I live in the cold too and when I get up in the morning the car cranks real slow. I pulled out my radio fuse, interior light fuse, back - up battery fuse, front turn signals and some other shit I dont use. Its one of those cause now the car fires right up even when it was below zero. Try that.

x2 but I was gonna suggest a multimeter. Do this. Its best to have 2 people. Less headache. You mave have to pull from the kick panel. And if 1 doesnt work, welps, gotta start pulling 2 at a time.

Its a headache dude.
