Anonymous Coward User ID: 79760331 Mexico 08/13/2022 10:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How do you know it's the alternator have you tested the volts at the battery when it is running and when it is not? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83880901 That one is easy--just remove a battery cable and see if it does. *see if it dies No. Test the battery properly. Use a multimeter set to Volts..if it is charging properly you should see over 14 volts at the battery when running and a stable 12 1/2 volts when not running. Wrench here. Five years in. I think this is excellent and accurate out of all the advice here from “mechanics” in this thread. |

May try pressing the dome/cargo button 3 times to disengage the DRL’s It’s the round button near the headlight switch about the size of a nickel. Wear your comfortable shoes. Suspect you may be walking a few miles. Last but not least. Possible there parts houses that’ll deliver your part. Sometimes for free. |

There's not enough power to engage the electromagnet clutch on the compressor for the AC... Carb or fuel injection? Fuel injectors stop at 10 volts. . "Don't do anything that affects anything.

User ID: 84012075 08/13/2022 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm such an asshole that I get a bit of pleasure seeing how many people know so little about cars. A vehicle is arguably the most important thing you own. If you don't know what's going on, research it. If you don't know how to research, please just stay the hell out of my way. If you can see take a mechanical pencil apart and put it back together, you can fix your car. If you can't do that, and I bet you can't, find a family member or friend. If you can't do that, you are useless like most humans on this planet. I bet most of you get confused when you have to open the hood. The majority of you reading this are no smarter than you were when you were 17. How many of you got the clotshot and know how to do a tune up? Or check your differentials, or what that even means? How many of you idiots even own your car outright? Most of you don't even own your car. Think about that....so yeah OP, charge your battery because you think the alternator is bad. Good call. Morons. The whole bunch of you. P.s. most auto parts store now carry blinker fluid right up at the counter. Fill up on that.
