That means that alternator is about to stop operating and has already stopped charging the battery. Your alternatives are to change it for a rebuilt, remanufactured or new alternator OR have your current one rebuilt.
Hi Kim,drive to Autozone and have them test battery and alternator,it's free,to test the starter,you will have to remove and take it to them to bench test.
Check the positive lead to the starter to see if it is loose. aaaaatighten it if it is loose. Check fuse to igniton, replace if necessary. Check battery cables and see if they are clean and tight to battery. If not, clean and tighten cables to battery.
If you have no power for lights or the ignition, the problem is between the battery and the fuse box. There should be a maxi fuse of 100 amp or more that could be burned. The headlights are on a different circuit to the key switch but everything runs thru the maxi fuses. You would need to take a test light or meter and trace the power and ground cables from the battery out.
an easy way to fInd out how to fIx thIs Is one. wIl tue vehIcle start at all? If It wIll than start the car and carefully take the posItIve cable off the battery and see If the vehIcle dIes. If It does than you need to replace the alternator because the transformer In the alternator Is out. If the vehIcle does not start all the fuse may be In two places. check the fuse In the car at the fuse panel and or the fuse box under the hood.
Not the alternator. If the battery has a sufficient charge, the start should turn regardless of the condition of the alternator. Try using a battery charger to be sure battery if at 100%.
Are your battery terminals clean, no corrosion and attached tight?
If starter still will not turn, problem could be wiring or bad starter solenoid.
