Reader Question: I've got a new battery in jacks car, but something keeps draining the battery down and I wish to keep jump starting our car. What else happen to be wrong with my car provided battery?

If your new battery stretches down "draining" and you've got to continually jump start the battery discover the engine to start it is usually one of these problems:

o Alternator is not recharging battery - alternator is faulty and could be repaired or replaced

o The good news is "drain" on the electric batteries, like something is left on..... dome light, radio, trunk light, etc. OR there is some form of electrical item that features been sucking battery power that you will be unaware is running... these types of, a radio amplifier, other forms seat motor, electric antenna motor etc.

o AN IDENTICAL wiring problem, the electricity the alternator IS ONLY generating is not getting back to the battery, a broken "ground" wire on the back of the alternator or take advantage of the faulty battery cable and even battery cable end or even loose or dirty battery cable might be problem.

o Fuse malfunction, depending on what kind of car this is, some vehicles have an alternator fuse, either under the short inside the car the remainder of the fuses or beneath hood in the complex fuse and relay slat on some newer automobiles.

Bottom line: To securely diagnose a charging process problem, you must check all components beyond the vehicle. Your mechanic can test the battery "load", the alternator "output", and check for a voltage "draw" or something draining battery with the engine as well as key off.
