1995 jeep grand Cherokee will not charge battery although Alternator has been tested good?

Try removing the battery cables and cleaning both terminals as well as the cable connectors. Try to test the electrical continuity of the cables, one may be broken inside it's insulation, making it invisible. Have the battery itself tested, it is not uncommon for a battery (especially an older one) to just quit.


What are the symptoms of a bad battery or cables?

The symptom of a bad battery or cable is the starter is unable to get the power to start the engine. You can use a digital multimeter to check to see if it is the cables or test the battery for the definite cause.

Put the red test lead on the positive and the black test lead on the negative post of the battery and see the result.

Test battery with a load tester. If battery passes you have a problem with connections or cables.


What is the best test for testing battery cables?

Look at it. If the wire is corroded and/or the insulation is bulging, replace the cable.


You changed your alternator and battery Starter was bad you believe but tested good Now car won't crank as if the battery is not strong enough What could be the problem?

Bad connectins at battery? Clean connections. Possible loose battery cables on starter or engine block? Clean and tighten cables. If no help, possible bad battery cable/cables. Test cables and replace as necessary. Depending on what type of car, also investigate starter cylinoid. Hope that helps.


Why will a 94 blazer with a new starter and battery not start just clunk noise..like wants to start but not enough juice to make it?

Try checking the battery cables and battery clamps to make sure you are getting a good connection to the starter. Do a voltage drop test to check the cables. You can find instructions for a drop test online.


How do you test an 2003 springer stator?

the easiest way to check if the stator is gone is by taking a volt meter (dc) hook to the battery it should show at least 12.7 volts fully charged. start bike with meter still hooked volts should go up when you give it throttle. up to about 14.5 max. if meter volts don't change your stator is shot if it jumps to around 18-19 volts your regulator is shot. this is the quick way to check your charging system To test your stator, unplug the regulator from the socket. With a meter set on AC above 100 volts, insert the probes into the stator socket. Start the bike. When you give the bike throttle you should see AC current about 16 to 20 volts per 1000 RPM. You should see about 32 to 40 volts @ 2000rpm. Anything below that, and your stator is faulty. To test for a bad regulator, unplug the regulator from the stator. With a test light, make sure you connect the ground well on the test light and touch each pin on the regulator. If the test light lights at all, your regulator is bad. If you test from the battery terminals, you are checking the whole system. With the meter switched to DC above 20 volts, apply the positive and negative probes to the positive and negative probes on the battery with the battery cables attached. Have a friend start the bike and slowly apply throttle. At idle you should have at least 13 volts. This output should increase as you rev the bike up to about 14.7 volts. It should never exceed 14.7 volts. If the voltage does not rise with throttle, your regulator or stator could be bad which is why you want to perform the test I listed, as listed. If the voltage rises above 14.7 volts the regulator is definitely at fault. The regulators on these bikes are notorious for going bad. The regulator and rectifier circuit are housed in the same unit.


Starter tapping when trying to start?

poor battery connection or battery itself high resistance in battery cables would be some things to check plus beanch test starter itself


How do you test a rectifier for Harley Davidson motorcycle?

check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator. Buy a manual!

first you visually check if theres corrosion on your car battery post if there is its a sign of loosed or your cables is not good enough to supply full current to all your main and accessory parts like starter motor and ign system


How do you test for battery drain in a car?

By removing the ground wire from the battery and putting an amp meter in series between the battery and wire and measure the amp draw after sometimes 15 minutes.
