Got a new battery, and autornator, but battery light still comes on, and car is losing power in my 1995 buick rivieria

Either sulfate battery or a cable loose, it doesn't take any amprege to light the lights but alot to crank the starter.

sounds like the alternator has failed. If you charge up the battery and get it running long enough you should be able to check power at the battery. you should see more than 14 volts with the engine running. also check to make sure there is battery voltage at the large wire on the back of the alternator. If both of these check out than a new alternator shoould solve your prioblem.

Sounds like the alternator. A jump can start you but if the alternator is bad your battery will not charge and just die after you use the power you got from the jump.

start from scratch.. unhook battery , both terminals.. recheck ur belt while its off. ( hopfully its not a serpentine) power back up see what goes down...

This is due to the antitheft system. You shouldn't need a new ignition, you just need to bypass the security system. Here is a link all about it.

Hello lwilde53,

It coolant level sensor is in the the bottom of the surge tank located on the right side fender sometimes it sticks tap on it and see if it comes lose. You can also unplug it and see if the light goes off. The sensor is not replaceable you need to replace the surge tank.

Sounds like a dead cell/shorted battery. 3 years is a little soon but with the fact that you recently replaced the alternator, I would suspect that your battery is done! Even a weak battery will let you jump one, bad cables usually will let you jump one, but a shorted/bad celll in a battery will prevent them from taking a jump. good luck

The alternator should be putting out between 13.2 and 14.8 while running ............sounds like you got a bad alternater

Most likely causes is the OD shift solenoid or less likely the VSS

Make sure the battery terminals are tight. These cars have a double stacked positive side terminal that, to get tight enough, usually means stripping the threads on the battery. After fighting with this connection for more than a year, I finally put an old fashioned post adapter on the positive threaded side terminal, then put another 'marine' adapter on the post. After stripping the rubber insulation off the two positive wire's terminals, they'll stack up on the marine post and wing nut them good and tight.
