GutlessSupreme Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Alright. CS died on me Saturday. I was just cruisin along and I noticed the voltage dropping.. fuck. car died, I figured it was the alt. Thing just wouldn't charge. I finally got a chance to swap the alt. from the TGP aaaand... FUCK! It STILL won't CHARGE!!!! It starts, holds around 14.4 volts for 7 seconds or so, then just starts dropping off... what the hell could be wrong? Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Posted November 2, 2004 replaced in february. but if I get a chance i'm going to try swapping those two. I have so much work to do though.. :? Quote
WhiteOut Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Loose connection somewhere. Check the auxillary positive terminal on the drivers side fender. Quote
1990lumina Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Possibily a short in the system also somewhere? Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 was it a cheap battery? my $30 Wal-Mart battery lasted about a year. try a good known battery from another car Quote

CodeRedZ24 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Posted November 3, 2004 if u tried alt batt and connections then has to be a short in the wiring Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Posted November 3, 2004 the aux. terminal's fine... I don't even know where the fuck to begin looking for shorts better get the TGP on the road soon... Quote
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted November 3, 2004 Report Posted November 3, 2004 hey what motor do you have, i have the 3100, and i was in a hurry putting it in and wasn't watching carefully, and one thing to check which i didn't is i accidently pinched the wire underneath the alternator, and it wouldn't charge either i finally figured that out, it's hard to see, and the wire was all melted and i had to re-wire it, so check for that, cause thats how i fuctup it's easy to do if u were in a hurry when u put it in Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Posted November 3, 2004 It might be that, but it's not like the syptoms have changed from before I swapped the alt. or battery.. still same problem Quote
HokemBokem Posted November 3, 2004 Report Posted November 3, 2004 the aux. terminal's fine... I don't even know where the fuck to begin looking for shorts better get the TGP on the road soon... Whats wrong with the TGP? Quote
