Take the car to a place where they know what they're doing. Tell them the same information, and
have them check the Alternator and Voltage regulator. You may have trashed a perfectly good battery.

There is engine noise coming through the speakers?
It's probably an electrical problem. It could be the radiator or the alternator. Check the filter caps.
What would make all the dashboard and radio lights suddenly start blinking on and off and the service engine wrench come on while driving in a 2001 Saturn L-300?
Don't hold me to it, but sounds like an electrical problem like the alternater. (Battery sould have been replaced by now). Need more info.
Does the radio lock when you turn off check engine light on 2004 Jeep Liberty?
I think you are assuming that to reset the check engine light you can just disconnect the battery. Disconnecting the battery on a 2004 OBD2 compliant vehicle will not reset the check engine light. It must be reset with an OBD2 scan tool. This would work on OBD1 vehicle but not on OBD2 vehicles. So the radio issue is mute. Have the problem that set the check engine light repaired and then reset the light with the tool. Reset the light without correcting the problem and the light will just come back on.
What is wrong if the starter clicks but won't start if the radio works so it can't be the battery and it has a new starter?
Why CAN'T it be the battery? The radio uses far less electrical energy than does the starter. To KNOW that it's not the battery, use a volt meter and have someone attempt to start the engine while you hold the voltmeter contacts to the battery posts. If the voltage drops below about 10 VDC, it's probably a discharged or faulty battery. Try jump starting it and see if that solves the problem. If you can get the engine started, use the voltmeter again and see what the operating voltage is. You should get about 13.5 to 14.5 VDC if your alternator is functioning properly. If you've isolated all other possibilities, it's probably the starter solenoid. It's integral to the starer so unless you've rebuilt starters in the past, don't bother getting a new one. But before you just throw replacement parts at the problem, CHECK FIRST! Make sure that's what's really wrong.
You have 99 Chevy cavalier and it doest start is it battery radio still plays or is it starter and if it starter can i rebuild my own starter and if so how much would that be?
Sometimes there can be enough power in the battery to run electrical things but not enough to start the engine. You need to get the battery tested to see if it will hold a charge.You can try to jump start it using another battery. If it will not start this way,try charging the battery first before going on to the starter. If it turns out to be the starter, you can have it rebuilt. This can run about 20.00-40.00.
Will replacing crankshaft sensor fix battery charging problem?
No, a battery charging problem will have something to do with your alternator 90% of the time. The other 9% of the time its the battery itself that can't hold a charge, the other 1% is engine electrical relays.
The airbag and check engine light came on in your Jeep Wrangler 1998 and the vehicle does not want to start what is the problem?
It's gotta be the battery/electrical. Prob a corrosion in the battery line that shocked the electrical system get it towed to a dealer and tell them your story.
How do you get the alternator to turn over?
The alternator is run by a belt connected to the engine. When the engine is running the alternator is turning. The alternator is what produces the electrical current that charges the battery & powers everything electrical while the engine is running. the battery is mainly to start the engine.

Supplies the electrical pressure in an automotive circuit?
The "electrical pressure" probably refers to the voltage. This is usually provided by a battery. The battery is recharged by the engine when it is running.
Primary source of electrical power to start piston engine?
Battery.
What system of the engine does the car battery belong too?
The electrical system
Would a bad alternator cause the truck to stop running?
Yes, the alternator provides electrical energy to keep the battery charged. If the alternator isn't functioning, the battery will discharge and there will be insufficient electrical energy to operate the ignition and other electrical components. Understand that a battery is only an electrical STORAGE device. Electrical energy is produced by the alternator. The function of the battery is to provide electrical energy for NEXT time you want to start the engine. Once the engine is started, the alternator must take care of all electrical requirements of the vehicle as well as for providing enough additional electrical energy to replace electrical energy to the battery that was last used when the engine was started.
Function of the battery?
The function of a battery is to provide electrical energy to devices which are connected to it.
What energy is in a car?
chemical from battery converted into electrical then the engine converts it to kinetic
What does it mean when your won't start or turn over?
I means you have a battery problem or a starter problem or dirty/loose battery cable connections. If the battery is operating the starter and the starter is turning the engine over but the engine won't start and run, you may have a spark problem or a fuel problem.
Why do your battery drain when you try and start your car?
It could be that the battery is not fully charged or that the battery is incapable of holding a full charge, or that the starter is faulty or that you've just been trying to start the engine for a long time and ran the battery down. Understand that a battery is just an electrical storage device. It only STORES electrical power for use NEXT time you want to start the engine. * If the battery is not fully charged (it didn't get enough electrical energy put back last time it was used), it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the battery is going bad, it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the starter is going bad, it may pull more energy from the battery than it can provide.
