jpride:just make sure ur alternator is producing electricity, by starting the engine and switching every component no, things like headlamps, ac, radio, power windows,all doors open, all at the same time and make sure none is sluggish and the headlamps and dome light are very bright and not dim. If they are fine then change the battery |

ZIMDRILL: I removed the battery from the car and took it to a roadside battery charging shop. It was fully charged [quote author=jpride post=47167750][/quote] its either your alternator is not charging or you battery is not holding charge normal a battery sign will come on by the dashboard meaning the alternator is not charging |
