73236, I need an alternator
Posted by LikeNoOther, Apr-20-04 04:19 PM
Well I just bought a new battery! I am excited because I'm ready to pull my car out of storage in 11 days. I install the new battery and start it up and it works well. Now, today i go to start it up like usual and it doesnt even turn over!!! I'm thinking the alternator? Any other options? If this is the case, then i need one bad! Someone let me know the deal! thanks.

Whoo Hooo! My Doors Go Up!

it shouldnt be your alternator. my only guess is you should take the car after you get it started to like autozone and have them test it. that will tell you if you need a new alternator. if it is then it is a biotch to replace. (replaced mine 2 times). Hope this helps.

doesnt sound like the alt. to me either. make sure the battery terminals are tight and corrosion free. its possible the battery could be a dud, its happened before.
