Check fuses and Alternator, Almost sounds like the Alt is dying

already checked fuses they are all good, not one is blown, and its wierd because none of my lights work, no turnsignals, brake lights, hazords, nothing, no cluster lights nada, i cant even turn on my heater, but i will check altanator and update this asap.....

ok so i got my alternator tested today and it passed, dude told me its ok, but whats wierd is that my sister jump started my car and it turned on, but what has me confused is that as soon as i took the cables off(i left them on for like 5 minutes), the car started bogging out and shut off completely and doesn't want to turn on anymore unless it is jumped and cables are left on.....???????anyone have a clue??????

So you checked the 75 Amp Fuse under the hood?

That one is for the Alt

s13bert · 12-06-2010, 06:03 PM

yup the 75A, that one is good too, this has me stumped.....

I guess check all the Alt/battery connections

Put a multimeter on it ans see if your getting around 14V

alt or battery, or if your low, check to see if the harness is getting rubbed thru by the driver side wheel
