Re: Battery keeps dying. Tried new battery, same thing Posted by Doug [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Battery keeps dying. Tried new battery, same thing, darrell ![]() |
hey guys, I'm the new owner
The battery is dead when it won't start.. interior lights come on for a second real dim or not at all.. battery reads below 5v.
When the car is started the leads at the battery read 13v. I can disconnect a battery lead and the car still runs. So the alternator is doing its job to some degree.
The car was running choppy after jumping it. My friend and I sanded down the contacts on the negative terminal and it cleaned up the idle a lot. Right now I have a few fuses out of the car, and am getting a CEL for the airbag but no abs (which I was getting before) I’m going to slowly put the fuses back in and see what happens.
The car started this morning no problem. But im not confident the issue is gone. I am going to buy a new grounding strap and run a 2nd one from the neg terminal to the grounding point.
All your advice has been helpful, thanks a lot and thank you jared.
