This can be caused by a weak or bad regulator switch.
this can be caused by 3 things that come to mind primary would be a bad voltage regulator about 14 dollars at local autoparts store, a slipping belt you prob already checked that, or in the case i am having ATM a bad ignition switch, i am looking for electrical scamatics so i can find a way to fix or bypass mine its being a pain to find
After repairs are made. disconnect the battery cables, wait a few seconds and reconnect, that usually clears the codes, dash lights.......
The battery, on a 2009 Dodge avenger, can be removed by first removing the battery cover. Remove the battery cables and the retaining rod. The battery can be lifted out.
a simple test to check the alternator is to disconnect either one of the battery terminals battery while the car is still running at its slowest speed if the enginge quits the alternator is bad, or an easier test is to rev the engine from idle with the head lights on and observe if the lights get brighter. do you have a manual for the car?
bad alternator ? its not charging the battery
Resistance buildup in the battery cables. Mine did just that (dash lights flickering, dial gauges jumping up and down, etc.) and once I replaced both battery cables, the problem disappeared. This happened 4-5 months ago.
The 2003 Dodge Stratus came optionally equipped in a 3.0L V6 engine. The first step is the disconnection of battery cables. Second, the serpentine drive belt can released and removed. Last, the two bolts holding the alternator to engine mount can be removed and replacement. The OE alternator for the 3.0L application is AC Delco #3341420.
Charge it, replace it,test the alternator,Charge it, replace it,test the alternator,
have an alternator, battery, and electrical check to find out what the problem is. battery may not be taking a charge, or the alternator is not putting out enough voltage.
In all probability you have a bad battery or a loose connection. If the voltage drops with the motor running, you probably have a bad alternator (or generator) or regulator.
Check for: weak battery Loose or corroded battery cables Loose wire on starter Bad starter Bad starter solenoid Bad neutral safety switch
My 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan began doing this and it is because the battery has a low charge, could be due to old battery, or even bad alternator. The quickest and easiest fix is to charge the battery and then wait and see if it happens again after. If it happens then you should have it looked at by a professional
i assume the two red cables are for the positive and the black one single for the negative
