1985 SPG Gremlins....any advice? Posted by Gordon [Email] ![]() ![]() |
She's got 305,244 miles on the clock, so I'm not complaining, shes been a great car, but it needs some attention, mechanically...
The symptoms: Was driving and I lost power to my radio...around the same time, my wipers started to move very slowly, and when I turned on the blinker, it blinked on and off very slow, the battery light then came on, and shortly after the car lost all power, and was completely dead, wouldnt turn over at all.
I checked the connections and there all good, had a new alternator, &voltage regulator installed about one year ago, and I put a new battery in (Everstart 525 CA) about 6 months back with new cables. Of course the problem sounds like the alternator brushes are worn, but if the voltage regulator/alternator were replaced not all that long ago...this can't be so correct?. I charged the battery back up, and the car started right up, still the radio didnt come back on, and the car dies out a few hours later (Until the batterys power was drained), so the charging system doesnt seem to be working. :( I am in the midst of doing some rust repair on this car, and only because I love it so much I want to fix it.
Any advice would greatly be appreciated! TIA!
