With the car in the off position, remove the negative battery cable and use a multi-meter to test continuity between the positive battery terminal and the engine block. If there is continuity, you have a short.

When you start the car your battery light comes on but you just got a new battery?

It could be a number of problems. It could be the sensor is bad, it could indicate a fault with the alternator, faulty leads, faulty wiring... it depends on the situation.


You replaced your starter in your 1993 grand am and your car wont start not ever a click from the starter why?

We had the same problem in our '97. Check that your battery is fully charged and working properly, also check that the alt is working. If both of these are in working order it could be a faulty ground wire or the starter wire. Then, if those check out fine, I would start checking into your ignition switch and modular. I traced our issue backwards. If you know that the starter and the alt is good then it has to be in the electrical part of the car. Wiring or ignition. Hope this helps. If by chance it's something else please let me know. We finally found our problem in the ignition wiring. We had a bad wire going into the module. We have to push up on the wiring to get the starter to jump. Still a reliable car.

On a high energy ignition, possible problems include: Faulty keyswitch, faulty wiring or connectors, faulty pickup inside the distributor, faulty electrical condenser, if it has points (depends on the type of HEI) the points could be bad, faulty coil or faulty HEI control module. You will need to identify which component has failed.
