Question:
the battery emptied several times (3 times since purchase 4.2006). we changed the battery the first time around. then it emptied again, so we had to jump start it. recently,when i start the car, i noticed difficulity in doing so as if there is not enough power in the battery to start the car! then, it seized to start at all several days ago; however, lights and all are still workiong fine. so later, i tried to jump start it AGAIN but it wont keep running what so ever (it would start but it stops right away). what do you think the problem is? is it electrical leakage? or some other problem? please help coz car dealers in this country are un trust worhty and a bunch of theives...i wish i was in the states...
Where to put new tires: front or back?
oh by the way, i contacted the service manager and he claims that it must be my mistake (that i keep one of the lights on!). i havent taken it there yet. i will as soon as they pick it up.
Answers:
what is the torque spec for a 1988 dakota tie rod end nut?
Are you sure you want to be in the states with steve_o79? He didn't even read your question! I would go with the alternator problem. Some times a defective battery will kill an alternator so have them both tested properly.I'd look into the charging system. if your battery drains like that AND the car dies after it does start. That would suggest that the alternator (that which gives electrical power to the vehicle when started and charges the battery) is failing. So the car attempts to run off of the battery. When it sits for awhile, some of the strained battery comes back, which is how your lights will come on. Another suggestion is a faulty battery. Options: 1, most parts stores can check to see if your alternator is working properly or 2, if the battery is good. Another possiblity, did the drive belt for the alternator brake? Loose connections on the alternator or battery? Corrosion on the battery terminals (if yes, remove the terminals and sandpaper them to make them clean again and provide good contact)
