Opel corsa battery problems?
Check that alternator is charging battery properly and change battery to see if you still getting same issues. It can also be a leak in your car radio, burnt alternator diode, or a shorted coil in the central locking system or windows.
When an alternator goes bad does it ruin the battery?
YES. it will ruin your battery as the battery needs the alternator too recharge a full battery will last you 30-40 min maybe more or less depends.. it will drain your battery and make you stall (you mite be able too recharge later)maybe) if your alternator is bad YOU must get a new or used one ,its recommended if you get a new alt. get a new bat. as this will supply you years of trouble free from your car electrical issues.

If the alternator is good and the baterry is good then why the alternator don't charge on your 2000 Toyota corolla?
could be a couple issues.....first could be ...the alternator only charges the battery when needed. This is controlled by a voltage sensor in the alternator..when the sensor detects a voltage lower than like 10.6 volts the sesor makes the alternator charge the battery...if it charged all the time it would boil the battery dry in a very short time....make sense?...ok Check your battery cables and make sure they are in good condition and do not have any soft areas...this could be a break in the cable (under the sheath)...if you find a bad cable...repair or replace it...start at the battery positive and follow it to the starter solenoid...then check the small guage wire at the battery positive terminal and check it back to the alternator....make sure all connections are clean and tight....hope this helps

What is the problem when your car lights are dimming on and off and now it is totally dead the battery is fine and all the fuses are good. It is a 1984 Toyota Supra straight six cylinder.?
My aunt had an old Toyota Celica from the early 80's which experienced similar issues. The first thing to check is the alternator. It seems that the alternator wasn't charging the battery, and the lights were only being powered by the battery while driving - which made them dim.
How do you tell if you need a new alternator in a 1988 Isuzu pickup?
I am not sure if you have a voltmeter in your dash, but one thing you can look for is the gradual dimming of your headlights as you drive along. you will have significant starting issues as your battery is quickly drained. basically, as your alternator fails your battery has no way of recharging itself, and is only able to carry the full electric load for a short period of time
Is it possible for testing to show that your car battery is fine but it not be?
That is possible, but highly unlikely. -There are many other issues that can seem like a bad battery in a neglected car. The terminals may be dirty, there may be a bad ground, the alternator or voltage regulator can be faulty - etc, etc,
I put a brand new alternator and battery into a 1992 volkswagen cabriolet. it worked for about a week and now the battery will barely charge and the battery keeps dying. what might be the problem?
I also have had trouble with my battery and alternator with my 92 Cabriolet. If the car sits for a couple of days the battery will be so dead the car won't start. I have replaced both parts more than once with no change. I don't have an answer for you but wonder if there is some problem with this year of the Cabriolet.I have an 83 Cabriolet that has the same issues. My alternator is fine, it's been replaced twice and checked 3 times so it's not the alternator itself. Check the wiring, especially grounds, it's a good idea to replace them if they are originals, they easily could be the culprits. Also it might very well be the voltage regulator, if it's not working the way it should it can mess up the juice going into your alternator making it dysfunctional. Check fuses and relays too. All of these are pretty cheap to fix and aren't hard to do yourself. Go to Autozone and have them test your alternator, it's a very good way to finding if something going to your alternator is not working properly.
Will a bad alternator have the transmission to start slipping on a 95 SW Saturn?
A bad alternator is separate from the tranny. Two unrelated issues.
Why does 1994 Ford Taurus loses connection when trying to start and the battery and starter has been replaced?
This can be due to loose or corroded cables and or connections , and did the car start even at least once after the battery and starter was replaced? If it did you probably need a new alternator or if your handy enough you have the choice of rebuilding the alternator. Many stores offer free alternator testing , I my self have a 96 Taurus and i have had many problems over the years and now I'm at the point where my alternator is bad and i will soon be rebuilding it. If it is none of these issues then there is some thing more serious wrong in which case it needs to go to a mechanic who can determine and fix the issue.
