Car will start but wont restart after running several minutes.

Changed alt, replaced blown alt fuse, charged battery. Car will start fine with a charged battery but after shutting cannot start again until i recharge batter or roll start. Is there something else that I can check? Is there a fusible link and if so where? Are there any other fuses or such for the alt that can be checked? Im beginning to think i replaced the alt and it may not have been the issue after all.

Is your battery any good? A bad battery will not charge or charge properly and be at the root cause of your issue.

SOURCE: 2004 Galant Battery Fuse... or Fusible Link

so you reversed the connections and you think you nuked something? Right?

Check all fuses and relays. Replace any fuses that are blown and all relays that look scorched/burnt.
If that doesn't work, take to dealer to make sure the computer and advanced control electronics didn't get fried.

SOURCE: Fusible Links on 1972 Ford F 250 PU

follow the wire where you think the link may be, and and where the large bulge is, is where the link usually is, now the fuse is not usually non-replaceable, so you can go to a parts house and get an aftermarket fuse link that can easily be installed. take the voltage regulator with you and have it tested to insure it was not damaged.
also check all fuses in the fuse box. and the link on the main wire on the back of the alternator.

SOURCE: is there a fuse/fusible link to alternator,

The wiring burning up at the altenator most likely caused the diode inside the altenator to short out. I would just replace the altenator now.

SOURCE: hooked up the battery reversed polarity. Blew the fusible link but replaced it. Now the car will crank but not start.

start checking fuses hopefully its just another blown fuse if your lucky

but if all the fuses are good, you probably fried something like the computer or ignition module and probably the radio

hopefully its something simple and cheep but don't be surprised if you have to shell out some cash to replace the computer

New battery not charging after changing the alternator

First make sure both battery cables are free of corrosion and ground is secured to chassis and engine then check to see if theres an alt. fuse or bat. fuse blown. Another way to test charging sys w\out an meter is to remove the ground terminal from the bat. with the car running, if the alt. is good car stays running, if all else fails take the alt and bat to a parts store that will test them for free

it sounds like you have blown fuse to the Alternator.. I don't know what car you are talking about but they charging systems vary.. But if alternator isn't getting all the power it needs it won't charge. this should be checked.

good luck

Battery tested no good, replaced it, next day battery wont start car, noticed blown fuse at postive terminal, replaced it, jump started car, working fine ...... Question, will that fuse prevent battery...

the fuse must be 'intact' for electrical system to operate properly.batteries are rated in months as far as longevity is concerned,36 mo. 60 mo. etc. if you have or have access to a volt meter,battery voltage should be 12 volts with engine off,13 to 15 volts w/ engine running indicates alternator is working.

Wont start after changing the alternator, battery, and MAF sensor

Sometimes the alarm thinks the pos. battery cable has been cut so it kills the ighition. You will have to look in the manual to see how to reset the alarm. You may need a code. If its not the alarm, you may have blown a fuse or worse, fried the computer when you put the alt. in. start at the begining. Check the battery cable connections, battery voltage, alt. wires and connections. if the headlighys work but the car won't start, it's prob. not a "connection" problem.

Changed alternator in 2000 mpv battery comes on and off

Check the large fusible link labeled ALT in the under hood fuse box. If this fuse gets blown, the alternator wont be able to charge even if it IS new,because the ALT circuit is open.

Battery wont charge in my 1997 ford crown victoria

In the 1995 and later Crown Victoria's, there is a fuse in the fuseblock that controls the alternator's charging of the battery. If that fuse is blown, your car will drain the battery and cut off as you stated.
Check the fuse block under the hood and the one located on the left driver side above the hood pull.
