new or used parts??

Roy

new alternator and new battery.

what is the voltage at the battery with the motor running

Roy

with out the head lights it was 12+v with head lights it dropped fast

if you have the correct powers to the alt, you may have got a bad alt.

Roy

i went out and worked on my car and it was holding a charge with head lights on until i road tested it. the alternator is putting out 12v but when the car is is gear something is draining the battery i can only drive it for like 10 minutes now

JUST TRYING TO AID ASEMaster6371

I NEED THE PRACTICE IN "MITCHELL I" ANYWAY

FOR LACK OF INFO OF YOUR VEHICLE (NOMENCLATURE AND ENGINE SIZE) I WAS FORCED TO FIND ALL OF THESE DIAGRAMS---JUST SO YOU GET THE RIGHT ONE

IT "APPEARS" TWO ARE DUPLICATES OF THE OTHER TWO---BUT TO BE SAFE I GOT 'EM ALL AS LISTED

I'M MORE OF A JEEP CJ KINDA GUY --- AND I REALLY ONLY KNOW YOUR VEHICLE BY LOOKS ONLY

I'M ALSO A US ARMY AIRBORNE RANGER (WAS PAID TO BE ONE FROM '82-"87) NOW HOLD THE TITLE FOREVER

GIMME A TOPO MAP OF "ANYWHERE"----AND I'VE BEEN THERE----AT LEAST IN VIRTUAL REALITY!

THESE DIAGRAMS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME THING---MOST WIRES ARE LABELED WITH COLORS---ANYTHING ALONG THE WAY IS LABELED AND USUALLY HAS A "LOCATION" BESIDE IT (SOMETIMES ABBREVIATED)

IN A LOT OF WAYS THESE ARE QUICKER TO USE THAN THE OLD STYLE SHOWING 5 MILLION BLACK AND WHITE LINES CROSSING EVER WHICH-A-WAY! ----------THE OLD STYLE STILL WORK WELL, LIKE FOR MY JEEPS

OTHER THAN A CONNECTION NOT BEING FULLY IN PLACE---OR A PINCHED WIRE (SHORTED OUT) ---OR ANY OTHER WIRES NOT IN THE CORRECT SPOTS..........................LET'S LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM........FOR THE COLORS GOING TO THE RIGHT SPOTS-----JUST A "REVIEW" OF THE EZ STUFF YOU PROBABLY DID RIGHT

NEXT ------ MANY FOLKS JUST DON'T UN-JEWG THE BATTERY----UNTIL THEY SEE "SPARKAGE"-------OR THEY JUST LEAVE IT CONNECTED----THE SPARKAGE NOT SEEN????--------YEP! THAT LITTLE BUMP ON TO A METAL SURFACE MAY HAVE FRIED A FUSE....OR FUSIBLE LINK----AND WAS NOT EVEN NOTICED!

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT---MAYBE YOUR EVIL (BUT HELPFUL) NEIGHBOR DID IT, WHEN YOU WENT IN THE HOUSE FOR A GLASS OF SWEET TEA!--------MAYBE IT HAPPENED WITH THE OLD ALTERNATOR-----------DON'T REALLY MATTER, GOTTA FIX IT NOW REGARDLESS

LOOK AT THE "CORRECT DIAGRAM" FOR FUSES (THEIR NUMBER) AND LOCATION---------SAME GOES FOR FUSIBLE LINKS

FOUR DIAGRAMS ARE:

1) ES

2) SE 4DOOR

3) SE 2 DOOR

4) R/T

5) USING A CHEAP TEST LIGHT TO SEE IF FUSES/ FUSIBLE LINK/ OTHER STUFF HAS CONTINUITY THRU IT (LIKE NON-TRANSPARENT ITEMS, THAT ARE NOT "OBVIOUSLY" BLOWN-----ITEM IS REMOVED FOR THIS TEST USING THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY

KEEP YOUR QUESTIONS COMING IF NEED BE------ ASEMaster6371 WILL BE BETTER ON TECHNICAL STUFF THAN I

IF YOU THINK YOU GOTTER DONE---TRY THIS---JUST TO MAKE SURE
