Well, if your lights on your dash dont light up, if you turn your key into the on postion. I would try to jump start the car. Then drive it to a local part store ( ex. Adance Auto) to have them check if its the alternator. They will do it for free. Now if your car will not turn over on the jusmp start it's the battery.
Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.
Starter solenoid.
There is not a fusible link between the alternator and starter. There is a regulator on the alternator. The starter is directly connected to the battery, as is the alternator.
Is it charging, if not have you checked wiring to alternator.
Alternator on a car is for re cahrging the battery. So you can have a starter motor without a alternator but you wont get far down the road when the battery runs out of power and the car will die.
YesFirst if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the batteryThe starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.
No, your battery supplies power to the starter. However if your alternator is defective then it will not supply power to the battery and the battery will soon be depleted.
alternator and starter
Check the battery cables or starter.
the positive wire that recharges the battery after being drained from the starter
I am currently having the same issue. First unhook the battery completely. Then you need to find where the wires on the starter are connected to the battery. Detach the wires from the starter that go to the battery. Once you have the starter wires completely detached from battery you can start removal of starter from engine block.
The alternator produces power to charge the battery. The battery powers the starter to turn the engine over.
