1985 Nissan 200sx battery was replaced and now the car won't engage to start?

First, why was the battery replaced? If there was a pre-existing problem (like a bad starter, for example), replacing the battery will not solve the problem. If, however, the car started fine before battery replacement, then the problem could be that the battery terminals (clamps) were not sufficiently tightened. Don't laugh, but there have been instances where the plastic cap(s) covering the new battery's positive and negative terminals were not removed (duh!). Remove those plastic caps.

Where does the wire from the altanator go to to charge the battery on a 1984 Monte Carlo?

It normally leads straight down to the starter. However, I have seen some that lead into a smaller wire, going right to the battery. It all depends on if the wiring has been messed with previously on your car, or if a battery cable has been replaced.


Should 2001 Toyota sienna XLE dead battery be replaced or recharged - the manual only gives directions to recharge battery - will there be side effects if replaced instead of recharge?

A battery is only an electrical storage device. If the battery is faulty it will not be able to store electrical energy. On the other hand, if the battery is ok, it could be discharged because the alternator cannot create sufficient energy to keep the battery charged. If you are able to charge the battery the problem is in the alternator or an electrical connection. If you can't charge the battery, go ahead and change it. However, replacing a good battery will only make the vehicle run briefly. If the charging system isn't working a new battery won't solve the problem.
