HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE BATTERY MAY HAVE A DEAD CELL AND CANNOT HOLD A CHARGE? IS THE ALTERNATOR INFACT PUTTING OUT ENOUGH VOLTAGE TO PROVIDE THE BATTERY WITH A CHARGE, APPROX. 13 TO 14 VOLTS.

How do you replace the battery in a 1998 Chrysler Concorde?

If it's the same as the 1999 Chrysler Concorde, you have to take the passenger front wheel off first. Then you un-screw the paneling in the front of the wheel well and there you have it. The battery is sitting right there ready for your removal. You have to remove the air cleaner box as well to get to the retaining straps on the top of the battery.

Why does my 1995 Chrysler Lebaron battery drain itself while sitting for 4 days?

There is a possibility that your door is not closed properly. The hinges are prone to go bad, and your door will not close properly hence a battery drain by the interior lights. You could also have a bad battery


What is causing the Diodes in the Alternator of a '93 Topaz to keep burning out and draining the battery of it's charge while sitting?

most of the time the diode circuit will burn out trying to keep a defective battery charged, which results in overheating or increased amperage for the charging circuit which includes the diodes.


Why is the battery in car dead after sitting over the weekend?

Something must be draining the battery while it is not running. Usually it is caused by an interior light being left on either inside or perhaps the trunk or one of the doors were not closed completely and thus causing the interior lights to stay on and drain the battery. Otherwise, this will continue and you should plan on replacing the alternater and/or battery

Your car isn't starting but ive replaced the alternator and battery and the starter something is draining my battery when its sitting?

Check the parasitic load on the battery should not exceed .07 amps. Disconnet - side of battery and connect test light in series w/it. (light will illuminate if excessive current flow) Pull each fuse one at a time until light goes out. At least that will tell you which circuit is draining battery. The newer cars are supposed to maintain battery life (with a fully charged battery) for 21 days. Usually a short, meaning an open electrical circuit, is draining your battery. This means even though you have the car shut off, some thign is draining current from your battery. A wire may have rubbed the insulation off and is now touching metal somewhere on the car and this is letting the current drain from the battery. Shorts are very hard to find but can be done using a circuit tester and patience. As long as you have that short, the only way to prevent your battery from drainign is to get a battery disconnect........it's connects to the negative post on the battery and when you turn it it either allows the current to flow from the battery or else it shuts it off. Of course you will have to turn it on and off all the time but it will get you by for awhile.
