Stupid Short Sunday Feb 26th.
« on: February 19, 2012, 05:28:54 pm »
So Irene is having an issure with her Charging system. With the help of Marc and a chick from Pepboys, turns out that it was a battery that was unable to be charged due to running it down and causing a bad cell. So, got a new battery... ran her for a good hour re-tested and was maintaining a charge. Today after the car show we stopped for food and realized the volts were low so we drove to Lowes figuring it was a fluke and it wasn't. Towed her to Matt's and we spent a couple hours trying to track down what we think is a short...

Anywho

So next Sunday ill have donuts, coffee and pulled pork sandwiches for anyone who can make it. Just let me know what time, and ill get everything ready.

Can reschedule if there is too much going on.

We pulled the negative wire off the battery, and began testing the wires on the positive side. All the wires are dead, except the wire to the ignition, fuel pump etc. The drop when the cables were disconnect was about .02 volts per second. Matt and I honestly tried, but we are just stumpped now. Its weird that we drove it all around, Saturday and majority of Sunday stop for lunch and there was major battery drain. Put the cables on it and the battery wouldn't charge. I wonder if something is ruining the battery. Help!!

what kind of tests are you doing  :confused04:; forget volts, hook up the meter in series and test amperage drain, make sure the battery is charged, when done pull all the wires off the battery
