HELP ME

 

check your alternator its a easy fix hope it fixs ur problem

 

Check to make sure you have clean connection at the battery posts. A dirty post will not allow your battery to charge/discharge properly and will cause the exact problems you describe.

A two dollar battery terminal brush will fix this pretty quick.

If it were an alternator only, and assuming you have full charge on your battery, you would be able to start your car easily every time.

Remember that the battery supplies you power until the alternator takes over the supply. (That's about as layman as I can put it) Thus, the alternator has nothing to do with cranking the car or running any accessories until the engine is started, so your problem (As you are describing) has to do with the battery circuit. Most common cause: corroded battery terminals. Second most common cause: Bad battery. If #1 does not fix the problem, have the battery tested. But avoid running the car on alternator alone as this puts extreme demands on the diodes in the alternator.

Hope this helps.

 

i fixd it i did notice ther was that acid **** on the terminals so i pour coke on it and it shined it up and everything works fine now thanks
