Sounds like either your starter is dead or your solenoid switch is fried. Take it to a local auto parts store and have them test the starter for you.
With the engine not running you should read 12.6 volts on a fully charged battery. With the engine running you should read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery posts.
Bad alternator- not charging battery enough to keep vehicle running check with a volt meter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running should read approx. 13.8-14.2 volts
A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running should read approx. 13.8-14.2 volts
Check to see if the alternator is working Connect a voltmeter to battery: Without engine running reading should be about 12.8 With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2 If not bad alternator
Perhaps the alternator is not charging the battery adequately check with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read around 12.8 (without engine running) With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2
If you are parked with the motor running, engage the parking/emergency brake. Turn the ignition off and restart the engine. The daytime running lights should not be on.
yes the engine runs the charger/alternator as long as the engine is running the battery should be chargeing
Check alternator output with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running Should read approx. 13.8-14.2 with engine running
You should read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter on a fully charged battery with the engine not running.
Perhaps alternator is not charging battery sufficiently, test with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running reading should be approx. 13.8-14.2volts
Check alternator with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running reading should be approx. 13.8 - 14.2 volts
Age of battery Battery will not hold a charge (check with a volt meter) A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts (without engine running) If charging system is working properly reading should increase to approx. 13.8-14.2 with engine running. If voltage does not increase with engine running could be a problem with charging system of battery is defective and will not take or hold a charge
