91 , (is the charge lamp glowing key on, (shoe drops)?????
there are many ways to make it stop doing 13.3v to 15vdc running,
lots. ill list them all..
the 2 stated. in blue above. and.
1: bad dash lamp this lamp boot staps the field current or the alternator is born dead. so is it dead key on, , yes, BINGO.

2: bad alt ground, or starter top bolt , ground to battery bad or loose.
3: bad wires to the rear of alt. all 3.
4: bad battery cables. (or just corroded ends or conn. wrong)!!!
5: alt belt loose or missing.
6: engine hot RPM not 750 to 850 Rpm if 500 BINGO.
and more.

here is the drawing.
IS the sense wire is dead, not 12vdc.???

http://www.fixkick.com/Charging/charge89.jpg


the reg inside can shut the ALT down for.
over voltage
over current.
or if it THINKS(sic) that the batter internal resistances is too high. for ANY REASON what so ever. it will shut down
these protections prevents the ALt. from blowing expensive electronics (all of it) to kingdom come. $$$$$

its a feature.

is it charging sufficiently? short jorneys do not allways put enough charge back into a battery, is your charge light coming on then going out once the engine is started?

Can't help with a problem of getting into the car, assuming the keys don't work. As for charging the battery, make sure all accessories are off in both cars, hook up the cables to the dead battery first, noting which one goes to the + cable on the battery. That same cable will go to the + terminal on the car that is running. Make the last connection the one that goes to the - terminal on the running car.
Let the battery charge for 2-3 minutes and then try to start. If it doesn't start after 5 minutes, rev the engine on the jump car and that will add voltage to the connection. Try to start again after a few minutes. After you get it going, let your car run for 20 minutes to build up the battery. When disconnecting the cables, keep the ends from touching until all cables are disconnected from the batteries.

Double whammy. starter non operational and alternator doesnt charge. Hmm it has to just be one problem not two.do you have clean battery connections external part of the battery or internal part of the battery.concentrate your effort on the terminals and lets start this car.does the head light go on if yes . okay now turn the ignition did the battery just spark if it did you got a bad connection still okay now maybe you didnt turn the ignition did the light dim no okay you got a bad starter. tap the starter did it start or want to start. if it did youll need a starter. okay now that starter has a fuseable link is it blown or any of the omega fuse blown cause that will make a not charge and a starter not start. By the way the terminal that goes to the relay box and fuses is it making good contact?

98 izzu hombre 4.3 battery went dead after a jump it wont start how to fix

The jump start may have blown you alternator or voltage regulator. If so, you have an inactive charging system. You must have a good battery for this to work, Disconnect the positive cable to the battery. Use a battery charger to slow charge your battery. When the battery is fully charged, reattach the positive cable and try to start your engine. If it starts take the truck to a shop or auto zone to have the charging system checked. Fix what is needed.
Any time a vehicle is jump started, do so with the hot battery car not running and its ignition off. If it is running and your car starts one or both charging systems are usually damaged. There may not be damage if it is GM to GM or Ford to Ford, etc., but to be safe, do not let both cars run at the same time when connected.

Check your new battery if it is charged up, sounds like something is draining your battery, or your alternator is not charging properly, check your charging system

Batery wont charge when u jump,, new battery 5 months ago

You need to go to auto parts store and have them check that the alternator is charging the battery. They do this for free. Also have them check the battery to make sure that there is not a bad cell in the battery. This can happen from time to time. if all of that is good u may have a drain on the battery. Check that all lights go out when u shot down the car.

2004 Pontiac Montana -brand new battery, new alternator(not rebuilt). have to jump start and runs for a while then dies some times wont take charge. battery will die not running in a day. very intermi

First, you can't and shouldn't test an alternator by disconnecting the battery cable while the engine is running. You run the risk of cooking the alternator and the computer. Thats how we used to test generators back in the last century.
Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ? Is the battery charge warning light on ?
There should be a fuseable link between the alternator and the battery that could keep the alternator from charging the battery.
The ignition module would have no effect on the charging system.

Daughter called me ..car wont start. checked battery at Autozone...it is good. someone stopped to help them and bang on startere and it starts up. Bad starter. Starter replaced. Next day daughter...

it sounds like you have blown fuse to the Alternator.. I don't know what car you are talking about but they charging systems vary.. But if alternator isn't getting all the power it needs it won't charge. this should be checked.

good luck

New battery. abs, battery and service engine lights come on. all headlights and tails flicker and car dies and wont start. jump it let it warm up and doesnt do it for awhile. then at some point it does it...

These are all signs of a bad alternator. The car is running off of only the battery. The alternator charges the battery and keeps the car running. When the alternator quits charging the car will run fine until the battery dies. Then you can jump the battery and charge it, and the car will run fine until all of the electronics and lights run the battery down again.

1994 Mazda Protege, new battery, new alternator, wont charge

You must have blown a master fuse or fusible link.

Refer to the maintenance manual.

this happens sometimes during a jump start or a direct short in the elect system.
