My battery be drained

I changed 3 times my battery by my Mechanic recognition but I still have problem .
It doesn't start & I think it can be my Alternator problem or the wires connected from my Alternator to my battery .

I agree with you, it sounds like the alternator isn't charging the battery. Most parts stores offer free check of your charging system, with advice on what is wrong and what needs to be replaced (you should replace your mechanic along with your alternator.)

    ok, check with your mechanic, and maybe he'll recommend a 4th battery? U still need to test the alternator, I'm not sure what u want for a solution.

2006 Gmc Envoy SLE won't crank no power window, no power lock, all gauges on cero

(I replaced the battery this morning, it doesn't change anything and it for some reason is draining the battery) Something draining the battery - you have a parasitic draw on the battery, like something is on but isn't. More than likely the instrument cluster is the problem. Silver solder migration on the circuit board inside the instrument cluster can cause a parasitic drain on the electrical system. Also, can short out the serial data network causing no start conditions.

Why is battery draining ford 2002 Taurus SES

Remove negative cable from battery, connect a test light to negative terminal, opposite end off light to negative battery post. ( let sit for 3 to 5 minutes). Then start pulling fuses, when the light goes out that's your bad circuit. God-Bless! Its worth a try.

How do I fix starting problem in Megane 2004 1.6 16v

Sounds as though there is a charging problem with the car. It starts when battery fully charged but when the charge is low it fails to start. I would get a mechanic to connect his meter to the battery and see if it is charging as it should. It is also possible that something is draining the battery when not in use. Check interior lights are going out when parked up, nothing is plugged into cigarette lighter outlets attached to sat nav etc., things like that.

Car wont start

I finally found a mechanic who found 3 broken wires. The diagnostic machine now reads the car and no faults were found. He changed the fuel pump and the car now cranks but doesnt fire up. I got fed up with the mechanic scratching his heading after 3 weeks sat in his garage so i got the car back home. I changed the battery cos the old one was completely knackered. I need to get this started asap... any suggestions? its a 1.9 diesel

What's draining my car battery?

it could be the radio wasn't hooked up right and doesn't turn off when the car is off. Or you could have a broken or chaffed wire somewhere grounding out. either one will drain a battery rather quickly.

I changed the battery on a 2002 trail blazer then the a/c wont work

When the battery was disconnected, the HVAC system lost its calibration or one of the door actuators is stuck. With truck on, set all HVAC controls and switches to their OFF or CCW positions. Disconnect the battery, wait about 3 minutes, then reconnect. Turn ignition to ON position, doesn't need to be started, and don't touch any of the HVAC controls for about 3 minutes. This should reset the calibration. If this does not work, a mechanic will need to diagnose the problem.

!999 Ford Escort SE will not start, In a day i take a few trips sometimes will start, battery fine, battery terminals cleaned, but will start if jumped, i'm thinking some sort of temperature/resis

It could be the battery. Make sure you get the battery checked. Make sure it is not just charging but able to hold a load and doesn't drain. The other problem it could be is with the firing of your distributor. I had a problem with my chevy s-10 where it would start and then after driving and stoping for a brief period it would not start. Then after a long period it would start again. I change all my plugs and still had the same problem. I changed the spark plug wires and had the same problems. I had someone to look at it and they changed a part in the distributor that had rusted. I think it was the relay.

Car turns slowly but just wont start

Starter turning slowly sounds like:

- bad starter, or
- bad connection to starter, or
- bad connection(s) on starter relay, or
- low charge on battery, and
- and maybe some others... but these are most likely
