marquettefan247 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well, I went out to start my car this morning like normal, I turned on my acc and then turned on my deck. After putting my faceplate on I attempted to start my car. I turned the key and everything shut off. I tried my headlights, acessories, and deck. Nothing will work. When I turn my key I get nothing.

marquettefan247 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I was told to take my alt out and get it tested by autozone. If the alt dosent give power thats my problem. If it does its my battery.

30Hz.wav Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) If NOTHING turns on, it is not your alternator. I would first check for a loose battery connection. If all you needed was a jump start, your alternator could be going bad, because it might not be feeding the battery properly.

brsteinbach Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I had a bad battery terminal to my ground. I got it at Walmart and it was painted all black and I was dumb and just threw it on. My car started up fine and I shut it off. A little while later I had to go to the store and my car wouldn't start, Nothing lit up and the car wouldn't turn over. I had my friend wiggle the ground terminal and I got my lights back on my dash (car was in on position). Well I stripped the paint off and it was all good. Sorry for the long story. Moral of the story is that it may be a bad ground.

bigredishott Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would def start with the battery! easier to change and cheaper. Also, they should be able to check your charging system with the alt in the car.

Loudcav Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) your battery probably took a dump unless you notice that one or both of your battery cables is either loose or kinda crusty Edited October 28, 2009 by Loudcav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
