....btw i jus seen that the tensioner bolt broke where it spins...but it still has the other half of the screw on tight??

 

Your new alternator could be defective... It happened to me with a rebuilt from AutoZone. Also fix that tensioner bolt ASAP.

 

Check your fusible links..

 

ok..i bought a rebuilt 1 on sunday (cuz i needed it bad)but i still have receipt.i still have my other alternator i took out!!..i will go 2 autozone 2morrow at 8 am an get it checked if my alternator is defective!!...but it is definitely a power problem! the tensioner bolt is broke where u tighten it> but it still has 75% of that long screw intact tight on the pulley but still intact still connected so will that cause this?btw if the battery is holdin a charge on its own for a few minut6es.. could it still be defective....thanx for the info..

 

?could u be more specific....fuses?

 

BOUT 2 GO TO AUTO ZONE IN A LIL BIT...FORGET WAITING TILL 2MORROW

 

A bad alternator can take out your battery. At least a couple times I've changed alternators on cars I have owned, within a couple days I've had to replace the battery.

 

bought mine at AutoZone .. same thing happened .. got another one and its good now ..

 

update:....i went to autozone with old alternator that messed up (becuz new1 is still installed in car.taking out 2morrow)they checked it and it was fried...so my guess i bought a fried alternator!!takin out 2morrow in the am an returning it!!!updates 2morrow...

 

^ Sheesh. Make sure to have them test Alt #2 before you install it and fine out it's DOA as well. A new battery would be a good purchase, as well.

Damn Auto Zone...

 

yes sir..i will be 4 i install...i will get it checked at autozone!

 

sometimes your battery can be so dead that no matter if the alt. worked or not, the car would die. I would recommend a new battery, since winter is upon us.

 

yes....new alternator...got it checked was good....an installed it, drove car cranks perfect all power is restored.... ......so faR SO GOOD... also including a $80 interstate battery had 2 purchase 2day....,...thanx for the feedback ....chumps

 

I figured you'd end up buying a battery too.
