Your 97 Chevy lumina wont start you have checked the battery and starter and still nothing happens what could be wrong?
I had a similar problem turns out the Alternator was bad.
Why would your 2007 Ford Fusion have a clicking noise and it wont start unless it is jumped?
I am no mechanic, however this is a 2 part fix. First the battery is shot, so replacing this is one part. The next is a little more complicated. You should take your vehicle to autozone or somwhere similar and get the alternator checked out. It sounds like this may need replacing as well. Like I said start with the battery, as this is the cheapest, but get the alternator checked out as well, or you would just waste the money on blowing another battery if the alternator is the problem. Best of luck!
Your car wont start then you charge battery then it starts but after you shut off wont start again also it dies after runnin for a period of time without drivin is it the alternator or maybe starter?
The problem is not the starter. The battery is either not holding or not receiving enough charge. Problem could be (1) loose alternator beltl (2) loose/corroded battery cable(s); (3) dead cell(s) in the battery; (4) bad alternator.
Car will not start unless the battery is jumped changed battery and alternator doing same thing pull positive cable off battery car dies what could be wrong with the 1992 eagle talon?
If the battery and alternator are both good, Test them to be sure, then you need to take a multimeter and verify that the power from the alternator is actually reaching the battery. It could be a simple wiring problem
What would cause the alternator warning light to come on in a 1979 Chevy Malibu?
Its telling you that for some reason the battery is not charging. Possible cause are: poor or dirty cable connections at the battery posts, bad cables, bad battery. It is also possible that the brushes in your alternator are bad but, the fact that you are getting a light usually indicates the problem is with the battery or cables. For some reason on a GM alternator when the internal regulator in the alternator fails you don't get a light. The only indication you get is that when you turn on the key the battery light doesn't come on. So it is probably not the alternator. Check for corrosion around the battery cables where they connect to the battery. That is most likely the problem. If you have the type that screw into the side of the battery, they may have just worked loose. Good luck
Battery light was on and checked to see if it was the alternator and the alternator was bad have not fixed the alternator and now the battery light has not come back on what could be the problem?
There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
Battery is not taking a charge fully when i start it. I checked my alternator is good my battery is good. What could it be?
the problem im having is i have 1998 caravan and i just got a new battery and oil pan gasket fixed now problem is evertime i apply brakes the van dies .
Would a weak battery be the cause of a hesitation when turning on ignition?
Could be. But it might be an alternator problem instead of a batery problem. You need a good alternator to keep the bttery recharged. I wouldn't run out and buy a battery without getting the alternator checked.
What does it mean when the brake light and the battery light come on at the same time in a 1990 Toyota corolla?
Usually this means there is a problem with the charging system. Stop and have the battery alternator checked. Makes sense if you think about it... Usually this means there is a problem with the charging system. Stop and have the battery & alternator checked. Makes sense if you think about it...
If the alternator and the battery are both new why isn't the alternator charging the battery. The fuses were checked and the connections to the battery are good. What is the problem?
just bcuz you brought it new doesn't mean it can not be defective take it back to the seller and have it checked this problem happens very often because alternators are not new anymore they are remain parts
Why is your battery light on and Battery meter pegged high on the instrument panel in your 2002 F150 pickup Alternator If so how do you change it out?
I had this problem. The alternator was fine, it was the battery that was bad. The alternator was "pegging" out the indicator bc it was trying to charge the battery, but it wasnt taking charge. Take the battery out and have it checked.
I recently installed a new stereo system into my car now my car sounds like my battery is weak is it my battery that I have to change or my alternator?
Check the battery with a vom meter while the engine is running. It should read about 14.5 volts and if so the alternator is working, than have the battery checked Now if the meter does not read 14.5 volts, have the battery, and the alternator checked. If they both check out okay, the problem is in the battery or the alternator circuit on the vehicle.
Why is my battery light on?
Indicates a problem with the electrical system. Normally the problem is that the alternator has failed. Have your system checked at almost any auto parts store.Indicates a problem with the electrical system. Normally the problem is that the alternator has failed.

What does the dashboard light with a battery mean in a 1991 Toyota Previa?
It means you are having a problem with the charging system. Have the alternator and battery checked. Good Luck!!!
Why does the battery light come on the battery and alternator have been checked and are good It's a 2000 dodge intrepid?
The battery light comes on when the alternator is either over or under charging. If the alternator tested good you have a wiring or computer problem. The engine computer is the voltage regulator.
Why 92 Ford Festiva won't start but can jump it and it will start no problem as I have already replaced the battery and the alternator and battery light remains on after car is jump started?
It sounds like you have a break in the wire which connects your alternator to your battery, get it checked out.
Why does the battery charging light don't go off after starting the engine of my 1983 Toyota Corolla?
Have the charging system checked. The light comes on when there is a charging system problem. it may be a battery, alternator or a battery problem.
