Charging problems???

Default Charging problems???

Ok, here's the deal. My battery went dead, so I replaced it and my alt because I thought my alt was cooked. (turned out it was)

So, I got a rebuilt alt, and brand new battery. Put them both in the same day, then 2days later, the battery went dead again. SO, I took the rebuilt back to the shop, and got another one. (They actually rebuilt my original one). Also, the batt light on my dash comes on at about 8k rpm and after driving tonight, I get home and the batt is dead AGAIN.

Here's what I can tell you-
Power draw car off 0.08amps
Batt takes a 10+ amp charge every time overnight.

Anyone else have this problem? Also, where is the electrical load detector in a 5g coupe? Could this be the problem?

If it helps, its a 95 coupe with a 95 GSR swap.

Please help! I'm sick of my car dying.

It sounds like you might have a short in your wiring somewhere...

I finally got it, thanks to a guy named Mike.

Turns out the main ground strap had a very small amount of corrosion on it. (not visible like at the battery) So I wire brushed both sides of the strap, and installed star washers under the bolt and connector.

Initally I measured a 4.8ohm loss between the head and the battery (-), then after the cleaning and reinstall I got a .01ohm loss between the batt and the head.

The charging system works perfectly now. I'm so stoked!
