Car suddenly stopped charging while driving, warning light for charging came on and battery drained Down. Recharged battery and put in a brand New alternator. Still the car didnt charge the battery. Checked all fuses, all good. Checked all wires and contact, all seemed good. Wondering if there is a fuse on the cable from the alternator to battery/solenoid... Cant find out why it wont charge.
Check for blown fusible link and possible bad relay. On relay, with everything off and hot battery hook u battery and give it ten minuets or so, then feel the top of eac relay. if you find a warm or hot one Bingo!
Fuseable links was okay, but about the relays, u say i should feel on every relays (in motorroom fusebox i assume) after 10min with the battery hooked up (while the car running or not??)
I also started the car and i hooked off the battery while running and engine stopped... so no charge from the alternator at all.
No charge from alt? You said it was new, which of course does not mean it is good, but is it connected correctly? As to battery dying, the relay feel is done with engine off to find the drain, but if alt. is bad that could be the only problem. Have parts store test new unit to be sure.
well i assume the alternator aint charging since the car stopped as fast i disconnected the +pole on the battery...
Many newer cars electrical systems can be severely damaged by disconnecting the battery + while running. Hope yours is not one of those. If the alterntor is not charging, fix that first.
