Battery light stays on in your Chevy silverado 2005?
test the voltage on the battery first, then on the alternator. If its good then it could just be the diode in the alternator. I would suggest you replace it becuase eventually your alternator will die and the battery will not get charged leaving you stranded somewhere. It is possible to just be a battery but you wont know unless you have the battery tested. check the voltage on the battery and the alternator before you do anything else.
When you drive your 2000 elantra you notice that smoke comes out of the battery top vent you changed the battery and this is still going on does anyone know what could be the problem?
The alternator is probably over-charging the battery. Replace the alternator if the voltage at the battery terminals is over 15V when the engine is running.
Could alternator drain battery when car is not running?
If the alternator is installed incorrectly, yes, it can drain the battery.
Your 1993 Pontiac transport will not charge battery an battery good and battery hand reading nothing with engine running an already had alternator check an replace pcm but there is still no charge?
Does the Alternator have a power supply back from the battery to excite the alternator? I had the same problem and despite trying several alternators found that a fuse had blown on the circuit bring power back from the battery. Or the bushes in the alternator could be worn out or the diode pack could be shot. Put a volt meter onto the small wire on the alternator and across to the vehicle body you should have battery voltage on this terminal.
The battery charge light comes on and eventually your battery dies Then Replace the alternator and within a few days the light comes on again What could prevent a good alternator from charging the bat?
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alt. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)
The alternator and battery checked out fine but the battery light stays on. What could it be?
Probably loose drivebelt. or alternator belt of it is seperate.
MY car will start when jumped but sometimes start and die and the battery will not keep charge could this be the altinator?
could be the alternator. could be the battery, the alternator charges the battery but does not stop the battery holding a charge.could also be a bad starter motor. take alternator off and have it tested. most places will test for free
1997 corolla fan belt squeel when cold?
The belt is slipping a little when the alternator is working the hardest. (Just after the car starts). The easiest answer is to check the belt and if you see any signs of wear (weather checking - cracks - etc.) replace it. The not so easy answer is that your battery could be weakening causing the alternator t work harder. Have your battery checked and replace if necessary. Leaving a weak battery in will ruin your alternator eventually.
Battery light was on and checked to see if it was the alternator and the alternator was bad have not fixed the alternator and now the battery light has not come back on what could be the problem?
There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
How do you replace an alternator on a 806?
first disconnect the negative battery terminal, remove the aux belt, unbolt the power steering pump(only the bolts not the lines ok) just move itout of the way so you could get to the alternator bolts, undo all the alternator bolts and wires and replace it.
Why would the alternator in your 1994 Mitsubishi galant not be charging the battery when it is not defective?
usualy if the alternator is not defective then its the battery. you should start by cleaning the battery post. then you could check the terminal wire that runs from the battery post to the alternator. if thats not it you should check the ground on the alternator.
Your speakers in your car short out when you accelerate Could that Be your alternator or battery?
the batteries only serve to start the car and the alternator. I'm not sure if it would be your alternator but it's not the battery.
