There's no way of telling based only on your description. You need to read the voltage across your battery when the engine is running/off. Sears will test your charging system for free and diagnose exactly what the problem is. When the car is running, you should see about 14v going across the battery and/or the back of the alternator. Do yourself a favor and pick up a digital multimeter, it'll come in handy for issues like this. You may also want to check your main engine ground. look under the car at the passenger side motor mount. There should be a wire connected to the motor mount arm going to the chassis. Make sure it's not loose or corroded. |
