Have your alternator tested it sounds like it is not charging.
Check it right at the battery with a volt meter.
What is the reading direct from the battery with a volt meter when this happens. It should be over 12 volts.Engine at idle, in drive, with the normal load, yes, will have reduced volts until the engine turns faster.
The voltage gauge on the dash refers to the charging system voltage. What this most likely means to you is that your alternator is not charging properly. If the battery is new and all battery and alternator connections are good and corrosion free you can be relatively sure the alternator has failed.
100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 meter dash, 800 meter run, and the 1500 meter run.
I replaced the headlight switch on the dash and made sure battery terminals were clean and tight
When key is on, is there power?(lights on the dash) If so, check starter/relay/solenoid. If not, check battery terminals, cables and fuses.
You should let us know the year, make, model and engine size to get the best answers. Short answer: Watch your volt meter in the dash. Glow plugs create a huge draw on the battery (50-100 amps). Most GPR's stay active up to 2-3 minutes maximum. When the GPR is activated the battery volt meter will be towards the discharge side or read around 11 volts @ idle, (Higher if the engine RPM is increased). When it turns off the volt meter will rise above 12.5 volts then slowly make it's way to 13.5/14 volts to normal,....maybe 1-2 minutes until normal.
You probably have a discharged battery. You can jumpstart it with another vehicle or charge up the one you have. After you get it running, look at the volt meter in the dash if it has one. It should read about 13 or 14 volts. If it doesn't, the alternator is probably bad and needs to be replaced.
That is the charging system warning light. If it stays on or flickers it means the alternator is not outputting enough voltage to keep the battery charged. With a digital volt meter you should read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery with the engine running. If not the alternator or the voltage regulator is defective. The voltage regulator is more than likely built into the alternator.
In the 1936 Games in Berlin, Jesse Owens won gold medals in the 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 4x100 meter relay, and long jump.
This could be you alternator failing. check the voltage of the battery when the car is running. should be around 13-15.5 volts even with electrics turned on.
Yes. She won three gold medals at the 1988 Summer Olympics (100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 4x100 meter relay) and still holds the world record for the 100 meter dash and 200 meter dash.
