It sounds like the regulator may be bad.

its not electric,,just regular

It still has a regulator

thank you,i have the door panel off,but i'm not that smart,i can see all the parts but don't know names or where they are are placed,if i knew where to look,i could pretty much figure it out

See pic There are rollers that are attached to the regulator. Check them to make sure the are good.

thank you,i will check

Let me know if you have other questions.

still trying to figure out why my car won't start,it just clicks,got a new battery,turned right over,drove two blocks and now its just clicking again

Remove the battery cables, clean them and retighten them. Also, check to make sure the ground from the battery to the engine is clean and tight.

thank you,no one suggested that,they suggested buy altanator,but it doesn't make sense to me,i have never had any trouble,the car always started right up,lights never dimmed,it does sound like battery down,it clicked on the old battery and it is clicking on the new battery like poor connection,also would the starter selinoid or starter do anything like that?i am 70 yr old lady but not senile lol

I am proud that you are working on this. If you are getting a click and the terminals are clean, I would suggest having the starter tested. It may be bad.

Let me know your questions.

Joe

thank you. i will check things tomorrow

Let me know what you find.

battery is not dead, shows charged up, when jumped it starts very fast,connections are all clean,when multi voltage tester was put on alternator,it showed 9.48,battery was 12.40,it started right up earlier after charged,i thought i would wait til morning to see what happens. any thoughts? i have to take off the top half of the door panel to get to the regulator,also both inside door handles have broken off,can i take the broken handles off myself,it just has a bolt running through a spring that is holding the handle

it was the alternator,they want 25.00 for one door handle,which seems a little extreme
