Why is your Battery not charging after replacing alternator on 95 ford probe?

Chances are you drained your battery when your alternator failed to maintain your cars regular running functions. You should take the battery to your local auto parts store, they should be able to test it for free.

If the alternator is good but the battery isn't charging in your 95 Probe SE could the main circuit relay keep the battery from charging?
No, take the battery out and bring it to an auto part store and they can test it.
Does it mean that your battery is no good when the light flashes when driving BMW?
Generally when your light is flashing it is indicating that your battery is not charging properly. It usually means that your battery, alternator or alternator belt need replacing or adjusting. Easiest thing to check is your belt so you can start there, make sure it is not loose or frayed. Next, disconnect the battery terminal while your car is running, the alternator alone should be able to keep your car going. If the car DOESN'T stall then it is most likely that your battery that is no good. If the car DOES stall then your alternator is defective. To properly test your alternator with a voltage meter attach the ground to (+) positive probe to the main power feed on the alternator and attach the (-) negative probe to the (-) negative battery terminal or ground it on a piece of the car's frame. It should read somewhere around 10.0 - 15.0 amps. Anything less will be insufficient to turn the engine over. If none of these seem to be the problem then you have an electrical short somewhere between the battery and the alternator. ADDITIONALLY, i'd like to point out that many auto part stores will test your battery and/or alternator free of charge. So don't be afraid to stop there and ask for help.
Why would a 1995 ford probe not stay charged once you have changed battery and alternator?
If the battery continues to go down even though the system is charging it normally indicates there is an amperage draw. to test it without any meters; disconnect the negative battery cable and observe when you touch the connector to the battery. If there is even the slightest spark, you have an amperage draw and that will run your battery down.
Your ford probe charging meter shows no charge and runs the battery down?
Why Batteries "Die"There could be many causes, but the most common causes include:Corrosion on the battery terminals and/or the battery cable terminal connector clamps which inhibits or totally blocks the flow of charging current.A charging system which is out of adjustment or defective [loose drive belt (s), defective alternator or generator, defective voltage regulator, damaged wiring, disconnected, loose, or corroded connectors and/or grounds, etc.].Battery is just plain "worn out"; has reached the end of it life span.
Ford Probe dies stalls kills won't start?
Will it even attempt to engage the starter?. If not then the battery or charging system needs to be looked at.
Where is the voltage regulator in a Ford Probe?
In the alternator. Have to replace the Alternator.
How do you test if an alternator is charging the battery?
Simple just disconnect the negative wire while your car is runing if car dies then alternator is bad and not doing any good to battery so alternator needs to be replaced. Answer 1If you have a major chain auto parts store nearby, it would be easier to go there as most of them have the proper test equipment and will simultaneously test the alternator, battery and related circuits for free. If you want to test it yourself, you will need a volt/ohmmeter [also called a VOM].With the VOM selector switch set to the 50 volt DC Scale, and the engine running, touch the negative [black] probe of the meter to the negative post of the battery [black cable attached], and the postitive probe [red] of the meter to the positive terminal [red cable attached] of the battery.Depending on the type of vehicle, charging system, and some other factors, the meter voltage reading will vary. However, the meter should read at least 13.5 DC volts minimum to about 16 volts maximum. If you have set the meter selector and connected the probes properly, and the indicated voltage is within this range, then the alternator is working properly.
How do know when to get a new alternator?
If it is not keeping the battery charged then it is defective. Start the engine and connect a volt meter set on 20 Volts DC to the battery posts. Red probe to positive and black to negative. You should get a reading of from 13.5 to 16 volts. Any less or more and the alternator is defective.
What are the precedures for replacing the alternator on a 1993 ford probe gt?
It's kinda of a rough job to do it cuz the alternator is placed at an odd spot. You can get at it from the top but you'd have to take the rad out. If you want , get the car on a hoist and go from under but the a/c compressor would have to be moved.
Replaced battery on '96 Ford Probe now car stalls when slow down but battery clamp broken so clamp have to do with stall?
More than likely. Get the clamp fixed! When going at speed, the clamp will vibrate, and will only be half re-charging the battery (the alternator re-charges it during operation). This means that when you slow down, you may not be getting any charge to it at all. Either that, or its just not making contact with the terminal when you have slowed down.
How do you check an alternator?
Start the engine and connect a volt meter set on 20 Volts DC to the battery posts. Red probe to positive and black to negative. You should get a reading of from 13.5 to 16 volts. Any less or more and the alternator is defective.
Your 94 probe gt has fuel cutout light on and then battery gauge goes low and high then levels off any help would be great?
The fuel cutout light has nothing to do with your battery level....if the level keeps flucuating (gauge needle going up and down) more than likely the alternator has a problem or you could have an electrical or grounding problem somewhere. I have all of the above at the moment. My gauges kept dancing up and down and then the alternator went. (Oh, the voltage regulator is built into the alternator, so you'll be replacing both at the same time if that's the problem.)
