Kegger Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Are there any shorts in any of the wiring? Also, make sure the alternator is actually plugged in, you'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 anything hooked up to the battery that has a bad relay? friend had a bad relay in his amp, so it wouldn't shut of when he turned his car off and slowly drained the battery over a couple of days.

Tubbith Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Battery wont hold a charge then buy a new one. If the new one doesnt work, at least you can use the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Are there any shorts in any of the wiring? Also, make sure the alternator is actually plugged in, you'd be surprised. i would check this 1st my self, if that doesnt work you most likely have a short some where could be vry hard to find then again it could just be a relay like pballer said, also does it stay charged when your driving it or do you let your car sit there 4 a day or 2 and try to start it? if your driving it and it doesnt stay charged, either you bought a bad alternator(YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUY A BRAND NEW PIECE AND ITS ALREADY BAD WHEN YOU PUT IT ON)... or when your driving the car and it doesnt stay charged your alt. plug wires arnt connected all the way (you did tighten the alt. ground wire back down right?).... or your motor ground could be loose or your pos. wire is loose on the starter just fittle around with some of the wires in the engine bay and see if there loose.could be a series of things but mainly its either your alt. or you have a short some where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 OH also does the battery have fluid in it? if not fill it up with distilled water, could be part of the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
