this morning i took my car to one of my friend's uncle shop to change the tranny fluid n did an oil change, the car started fine, drove it to the store, started fine again, went back home, came out after 4-5 hours, put the key in, start it, all the dash lights, everything went dim n it wont crank over, jump start it, let it sit for awhile, shut the car off, did the same ****.. and now i'm stuck here with this junk, n i got work at 6am in the morning.. some one help me out.. give me some advice of how to test my charging system n battery..

 

Number 1 for me would be to check the battery terminals. Make sure they're tight. You want a firm connection for a good run. If not that then check the ECU.

well got some time off from work, did the alternator test, some people say taking off the negative is bad, i was told that as long as the negative wire dont touch any part of the car chasis its okay, so i did the test, car didnt turn off, so its my battery, went to sam's club, bought a battery, and it started!!!.. well thanks for your help anyways... back to work i go..

 

Maybe the Alternator took a poop on you ....

 

Cool one mate. No probs
