How Can i tell between a short circuit and my battery/alternator being hooped?
Short Circuit?
- Thread starter Flatblack-Hatch
- Start date
Like it was weird, it was dead this morning when i tried it, so i filled the cells up with water, jump started it and it ran fine, then after a half hour of driving i shut it off and tried to start it and it was dead again.
I would check the alternator. just take it over to autozone, they'll check both.
Problem is getting it anywhere. i'm supposed to start my new job in a few hours. kind of hard to make money to fix car when you cant get to work.
take a ohm meter with everything off and neg. battery cable disconnected and test your battery post on your alternator with one lead and put the other to the alternator case you should read out of limits.... and try a volt test on your battery for shorted plates it should be 12-12.6 with a full charge
