It will still charge if it is running at idle. I perfer to drive it for about 5 -10 minutes with no accessories on ,the higher rpm will charge it faster. Either way always keep off all accessories off.
The relay is right behind the battery. The lead got bumped off when removing the battery to get access to the blower motor.
I would drive it at least enough to keep the battery charged. The battery can actually fail just from not being charged.
you just took the battery out
No, it just keeps it at 100%.
If by bounce you mean like a rubber ball bounces: The bounce, or not is determined by the mechanical properties of the battery, and these doesn't change with the battery being charged or not. Dead, or fully charged, a battery will behave just the same when dropped.
It could just need charged.It could just need charged.
Either the battery cables are dirty, battery is not fully charged, or the solenoid is stuck.
are you sure you have it fully charged? (also i heard that if you buy a new electronic and you unplug it before it is fully charged it will have less full battery usage every charge, so if you unpluged it just after it started charging the first time you might have almost no battery power at full charge)
just let it sit and run out of battery, then turn it back on after you've charged it up
break lines need to be replaced, check the battery cables to if that's not it then the battery may just need charged
The engine drives the A/C compressor by way of a belt. This puts an extra strain on the engine which uses more gasoline than if the A/C were turned off and the compressor was not being driven. Even the HVAC blower motor which runs on electricity causes the engine to use more fuel. The blower motor runs off the 12 volt battery but the battery is kept charged by the alternator which is driven by the engine. Everything on the car that is electrical uses fuel in one way or another.
either the alternator is dischargeing the battery or it is going flat just because its not getting re charged
