shortybangb Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I was driving home when i notice my car was losing power and and died on me i got it towed and got the batt recharged, everything turned on and started right up no problem i tested the coil, alternator , fuse links ,and solenoid they all had power with test light so i went ahead and pull the negative wire off the batt it turns off, when i test everything again after the car turned off i have no power any where, so i jump a wire from the solenoid to the positive batt and i have power everywhere except the coil, has me thinking its coming from the ingniton switch.any help is appreciated Thanks starquest Pepps!

TexasQuest Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sounds like the alternator. When they start having issues, a lot of weird and quirky things happen in these cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy larry Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 did you check the alternator belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortybangb Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 checked the alt its good, and as far as the tightness on the belt it pretty tight i dont see how that would mess with the car not turning on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Maybe the main control relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Coming off the positive terminal on the battery is a black wire that runs into a rectangular black box, that then leads to the alternator. That black wire is also a fusible link. Check it. If it's good, disassemble and clean/replace ALL your links. Even though you say you've checked them they're prone to corrosion and poor contacts.
