Re: Charging system

Lummert thank you - I just went out and checked and these are the warning lights that come on- Check engine, service, Oil, Brake, Parking Brake, and ABS. Then I guess the answer to your question would be no. The battery warning light does not come on when I turn my key over without starting my car. ...

Re: Polarizing Alternator

Thank you mrbrian200 much appreciated No, the alternator does not charge the battery when I start my car, in fact when I test the alternator it reads like the alternator is not good, putting out no charge/voltage. Only once I polarize it does the charging system work as it supposes to. And I've boug...

Re: Charging system

This is where I am at with the whole charging issue. As long as I polarized my alternator( I take a wire with an alligator clip on each end, with the car running I clamp one clip to positive battery and touch the other clip to the bolt closest to the edge of the alternator and then my alternator sta...

Re: Car dies while driving

Thank you for all the response so much appreciated. I did the starter fluid and still will not start. It turns over but will not start. How about relays or engine coils? It sounds like it is not getting any spark, but if it was relays or coils would the car just die on me while driving? Again thank ...
