Defective alternator or bad battery.
No, the alternator will not charge the battery with the negative terminal loose.
Corroded or loose battery connections, loose alternator drive belt, defective alternator, or dead cell in the battery.
One of three things: 1) The battery has a dead cell and will not hold a charge - have the battery checked free at a local AutoZone or similar auto parts store. 2) The alternator and/or components is/are faulty and will not provide a charge - have the alternator checked free of charge (same place as above). 3) The belt is loose or worn - if loose, tighten; if worn, replace.
Loose or corroded connections or the battery has a dead cell and will not accept a charge and must be replaced.
The red battery light indicates that the battery is not rceiving sufficient charge. Look for a loose belt or loose/dirty battery cable connection, or have the alternator and/or battery checked.
Yes. If it is loose on the side that comes from that alternator, then the alt. is not getting the opportunity to charge the battery. So basically you're running your car on pure battery and it will go dead accordingly
Bad alternator? Bad voltage regulator? Bad Battery (won't take a charge)? Bad fusable link? Loose or corroded battery cables?
Alternator may be defective, or connections at battery may be corroded or loose. The battery itself may also be defective.
Check for loose or corroded battery cable Check for blown fusable link
Voltage regulator or loose wire.
I would suspect the battery has been discharged, is defective, or you have loose or corroded battery terminals. Remove and clean the terminals and if that does not solve the problem charge the battery with a battery charger. If it will not take a charge then replace the battery.
small battery can lose charge fast,and big batteries can loose charge at large time
