hi guys ive had no problems starting my car. but today went to get it out of garage under my house. and as soon as i let the glow light go out. i noticed the volts meter was only on about 8. and wouldnt turn over.
now i havent had any problems starting in the weeks before. and the meter on start up always reads about 12. but have noticed over the last couple of weeks when i pick my other half up from work and im on the duel track the volts meter has shot up to 16 !
when it stays around 14 14.5 ? before. has the battery slowly been getting drained. is the alternator done for you think.
car is 3.1 and twin batterys. does the car fire off both batterys. or the passingerside one ?
Ive tried again since. And now hearing a clicking noise from that blue relay under the fuse box. Im going to change that and charges batterys.
then go see a auto electric guy test the batterys. Ive got a feeling the alternator is to blame.
last two weeks ive noticed. The volts are off the scale when the revs are up
cheers for the replys. i have batterys on charge hopefully they will get it going again. if not and there duff im going to sell the cars for spares or repair.
had it 6 years and engine never had any problems. i just need something a little newer now anyway. looks like this problem. has just got me to sort a new car quicker.
