Charging issue why wont battery hold charge if both altenator and battery are good

sounds like a bad altenator and it drained your battery. you need to replace altenator and charge you battery over night

Check wiring, make there is nothing broken or unpluged.

This sounds like a bad alternator , maybe it charges at times and other times it does not, check connections to battery and at alternator, also make sure all fuse are good.

see the guides and proceed according, using common sense. God bless you

You either have a short or a power drain. You may have a defective mercury switch in the trunk which is leaving the light on. This would drain the battery in a few hours. Also check the switch under the hood. The easy way to check this is to unscrew the bulbs & see if that solves the problem. Good luck!

Probably a bad battery. Bring it to a parts store for a free check of the charging system and battery. They can tell you what the problem is. Either the battery is bad, or the alternator is not charging.

Hi check the earth wire at the battery and also the wires to the rear of the starter motor and altenator, make sure they have good contacts and are not touching each other. also make sure the main battery earth wire has a good contact to the body.

It sounds like the altenator is charging but the charge is not getting back to the battery. make sure the altenator belt is tight.

Im not 100% if this model has a fuseable link, bt your along the right lines something is not connecting somewhere.

I have found this fault is most commonly a melted wire but they can be difficult to find. Sorry I couldnt be more specific. It is difficult without seeing the car.

well, it will with the headlights on..... do you mean it loses a charge if parked, or driving it, the battery goes dead? if parked over night and its dead, there is a draw somewhere, make sure theres no dome light or glove box light on, cell phone charger, ect. A shop will need to verify the battery and altenator are good before doing a "parasitic draw test".... the max it should draw is 250ma.

has the battery been tested off the car and tottally charged? it could be the battery elimnate the battery and then make sure your volttage from alternator is right.

THE BATTERY IS ONLY FOR STAR THE CAR. WEND THE THE CAR IS RUNIG ALTENATOR IS CHARGING THE BATTERY FOR NEX TIME YOU NEED TO STAR THE CAR . CHECK CHARGE ON THE ALTENATOR . IF ALTENOTOR NO CHARGING REPLACE.
