Check for a loose or coroded battery cable
Check for a loose ground wire
Check the output of the alternator with a voltmeter
A fully charged battery should read around 12.8 without engine running
With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2
Yes, if the alternator is functioning and you are not loading the charging circuit (using as much charge as the alternator is putting out so the battery receives nothing). Please note that "Idling" to charge the alternator normally does not work as the alternator is not turning fast enough to charge the battery, it only maintains the status quo for energy usage.
If the alternator fails, it is no longer keeping the battery charged and your engine is running on nothing but battery power. Once the battery runs down, your engine will no longer run.
Battery is dead, because of a bad alternator.
If you need a battery then there is nothing that can replace it.
Low battery voltage? poor battery connections?
When you take the battery out nothing really happens. I tried it myself and it did nothing.
No, a pcm, bcm, or ecm will not reset itself while driving. On the otherhand it will do checks when you start the car to make sure everything is operating properly. If something is not it will light up the infamous check engine light.(pcm) There is nothing for it to reset when you replace the battery. It does not loose it's memory when the battery is disconnected anymore than a computer in your home looses it's memory when you unplug it from the wall outlet. Therefore there is nothing to reset.
basically driving can do nothing to the planet
check your battery connections
No, the battery has nothing whatsoever to do with the belt other than the belt is driving the alternator which recharges the battery. The alternator is working hard to recharge a weak battery. If the belt is squealing then the belt is either worn out or it is loose. If it is loose it is because the tensioner is defective and not holding the proper tension.
A battery charges nothing it accepts a charge from the alternator.
If a raptor has no power and nothing turns on, it typically indicates a complete failure in the electrical system. This could be due to a dead battery, a blown fuse, or issues with the wiring or ignition system. It’s essential to check the battery connections and fuses first, as these are common culprits. If those components are functioning, further diagnostics may be necessary to identify the underlying problem.
