Check fusable links
battery is low charge. Take it for a long drive, to take the load off the engine from the alternator charging it.
if you boost charge a battery you should discinnect it from the car. if not you may burn out the alternator
your alternator is not charging your battery..u need to get a new alternator
If you have already checked the connections on the battery I would suggest testing the alternator and the battery. If the battery will not take a charge or the alternator will not give a charge you could have similar problems.
Sounds to be alternator. Take somewhere to have the charging system tested.
Red means that the battery charge level is low or that the alternator is not charging battery properly. Check alternator, voltage regulator, connectors.
Charge and load test battery- it may be not able to take a charge and need to be replaced You may a have blown fuseable link preventing alternator from charging battery
You can have the alternator tested free of charge at just about any major auto parts store. By the way, a bad alternator will not "discharge" a battery - the alternator's function is to provide the charge to the battery. If the alternator is faulty, then it is not providing the charge necessary to keep other components from discharging the battery. I had the alternator tested and it was charging. If the alternator has a bad diode, it will discharge the battery. I replaced the alternator and everything is fine.
Weak battery? not holding a sufficient charge Alternator not charging battery sufficiently?
battery tests good, alternator tests good, new voltage regulator installed and still no charge to battery from altanator .
YesFirst if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the batteryThe starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.
Either the battery is bad and won't accept a charge or the alternator is not putting a charge into the battery. Have the battery tested. You can hook up an inexpensive volt meter to the battery while the car is running. You should see from 13.5 to 14.5 volts if the alternator is working properly. If it is less than 13.5 volts then the alternator is not charging.
