well my battery keeps dying idk why.....it has new alternator and battery so i drive it for 2 days and the battery dies any ideas wut could it be??? thanks

 

do you have anything that would drain the battery?

Is the alternator new or rebuilt? maybe have it checked for free at autozone.

 

its new ...and i dont have anythin that would drain the battery

 

Have you checked all the wiring? (power,ground,alternator for corrosion,cuts,loose connections)

is the battery light on the dashboard on?

 

yeah i've check the wirirng everything its good and no the battery light doesnt turn on

 

Hook up a multimeter between the positive battery cable and the positve battery terminal (Disconnected from the battery of course). It should be less then half of an amp draw (Usually just radio memory, and other things that use a small amount of power to retain memory). If it is more than that, you have something in the car causing a draw.

 

ok now yesterday i replaced the altenator and battery so today i was driving normal and the voltage was at 13 amps so i stopd at the light and this dude wants to race me so i step on it and my battery ligth came on (on the cluster) and the amps drop from 13 to 10 IDK wut it is yall think it could b the motor wiring harness ??

 

any ideas??

 

check the tightness of the alternator belt?

 

its really tight

Your voltage was at 13 amps? Check. You need to bring your car to a proffessional.

You mean 13 Volts perhaps? It sounds like you need a new alternator, or need to repair the wiring to it.

 

i am having this same problem. i have put in 2 new alts and 3 new batts in the past week and after a couple of days they are both fried. its seems like something is drainging the batt but idk what is i have checked all grounds and wires everrything seems fine.

a friend of mine had a crx with the same problem and he took out the rear defrost fuse and it fixed his problem.

also if it is a new motor swap i have read that a lot of ppl forget to plug the white wire back into the fuse box under the hood.

 

idk wut it is but imma buy the wiring from a junk yard and put it on
