bad connection, less current to computer? mis information almost as if a bulb in a bad light switch works when it wants to
Yes
no a egr valve would not make a dead battery. a bad alternator or maybe a bad connection post to battery would make it die ,
Any wire or other metal object which touches the positive (+) connection of the battery AND the negative (-) battery connection OR the metal bodywork will spark
This use to happen on our GMC Suburban. Turned out it was the battery connection. Make sure battery connections are tight and that the battery is clamped down so that it does not move around.
Possibly the connection at the battery. Corrosion between the cable and the battery. The jumper cables are only connected to the cable and nothing is getting through from the battery in the car. Sure you have connection at both ends of the cables. It may not be the battery, starter may be bad or if the cables are badly corroded, the corrosion can work down the cable inside of the insulation and that will make them not work.
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery.
Hydrogen gas ignited by a spark. All car batteries produce it as a byproduct of the chemical reaction that makes the electricity. That's why it is recommended when jumping a battery that you make the last connection, of the negative clamp, to the frame rather than directly to the battery.
i had this problem i just had to make sure i was getting a good connection i just cleaned the battery cables
Very likely an alternator problem; if the alt is not working soon the battery would be drained and the truck would shut off.
check to make sure the screws on the battery still have a good connection.. this happened to my Chevy prism 4 times.. it turned out to only be a loose screw and a bad connection as a result. if the battery has a bead connection on prisms, all power is lost to the car.
Check your connection at the battery and where it bolts to the frame. Make sure they do not have corrosion or paint stopping a metal to metal connection. If all is good, you are grounded.
My suggestion is to make sure that you have a good connection between your starter and your battery. Is the starter even functioning? If not, it is probably a bad starter, a bad battery, a bad fusible link for the starter, a blown fuse, or just a bad connection.
