it could be either, but the fact he charges it and it works, then drives it and it doesnt, says alternator.

just go to autozone and tell them to check both, its free.

 

have you checked to see if there is water in it? if not, fill 'er up.

some batteries are serviceable and have water in them you can add to if it gets low. most newer batteries are sealed and non serviceable.

He said, "have you checked to see if there is water in it? if not, fill 'er up."

"You" being the OP and "it" being the battery. He did refer to the battery.

he probably meant the voltage regulator which CAN cause an undercharge condition.

Did you ever think that you called more attention to you not knowing about it because you called the other guy a retard and then acted like filling a battery with water was a stupid idea?

 

when did i call him a retard? I miss read his statement, i thought he was joking around and telling the OP to drink water.. i had a good laugh, and you rained all over my goddamn parade

You called the employee mentioned in the first post a retard because you didn't understand what was being said.

 

maybe a rusted alternator. hit it a couple times if that doesnt work run to your auto store and buy a new alternator!

 

It is possibly the alternator, but I'd start with going to WalMart or a parts store and asking them to test the charge on your battery and alternator. SO SIMPLE!!! If it's niether, then check your blinker fluid and muffler bearings. Those get out of wack really easily under daily driving conditions.

 

its a brand spankin new battery.. im thinking it might be a short somewhere...

 

o yea brand spankin new alternator too..

 

and damn sure it aint no blinker fluid... hahah i aint no retard.. im just trying to get my car started and running... please give rightful answer and no bullshit..

 

does ur car make a clicking sound when u crank it? if thats it than its your starter

 

Get a pro to take a look

 

thank u, ok i got one more problem wif the car... the headlight and the braking lights work at night, but the dash and the back taillight dont come on.. where should i start off first, for testing with the DVOM???...
