What is it you are using to determine its not charging? The charging system includes basically the generator with its belts, battery, the charging "relay" included in the generator and the wiring. If the battery and battery cables are new and it does not charge at all (battery goes dead in an hour's drive or quicker) then visually check if there's the generator belt still connected, then if it is, check visually that the cables behind the generator are all ok. The first fix if these do not produce improvement woiuld be a repair kit (new brushes, new "relay" voltage controller, and a new bearing); these are easy to put in place after the generator is loose and opened by opening the three or four long bolts on the perimeter, but putting the thing back togethr nearly would require a manual for first-timers. Simple anyway, does not require expensive tools, and the kit is cheap (a couple of dollars). Easier and sure fix is a new generator - some tens of dollars, and includes all the small parts. Just take the generator out, disconnect cables, connect cables to the new generator, install and tighten the belt, and see the lights ! remember also to disconnect the battery before starting to fixture with the generator, and to connect it in the end in order to make the car run...

What does it mean if your car battery stays on even after you have replaced it?

The most probable cause is a bad connection somewhere in the alternator > battery circuit. Check if the alternator is operational. Clean all contacts with a steel brush.

When is a good time to get contacts?

I started wearing contacts when I became more active. It's a pain not to see well when you are traveling and contacts are simple. However, I have been wearing them for a year and seeing without them is very different. After using contacts for a long time your eyes will get used to a clear world and not wearing them makes everything look blurry. Your vision probably hasn't changed, you are just not used to it. I wouldn't recomend contacts for first-time glasses users because their eyes are probably already good.

Will getting contacts at age 14 damage your eyes?

No. How you take care of your eyes when you get contacts will determine the health of you eyes. Contacts can sometimes act as a bandaid to the eye and other rare times you will have to take them out because of an infection. -No it will not . My cousin had gotten them at 12 . I got it when I was 10 and a few days from 11 . Important is that you know everything about it and the most important is to wash your hands . Don't touch ANYTHING after washing your hands , everything has germs/bacteria . Don't rub the water on your pants ( I do that a lot when my hands are wet ) .
