  • poor connections, remove grease from the terminals, apply vaseline if you must but definately not copper ease or anything like that. Check connection security on starter motor too.
  • high resistance in starter motor, get the starter motor checked or replaced

Why is my battery light on in my 99 F250 super Duty 5.4 and it flashes once it goes to change gears at high rpm?
The cheapest, easiest thing to check would be the alternator belt tension, since it was just replaced recently and may have stretched. After that I have no clue.

Sluggish & electrical problems after new alternator & battery put in
Sounds like the new alternator is not charging the battery. Once the battery drops below a certain level the car can't keep its components (on board computer) running. The ignition is now running off the battery which is fading. Soon the car won't be running at all.

As already suggested, check belt and new alternator.

6 weeks ago, my car 2002 civic would not start. It made this really weird clicking noise..A guy jumped me and then all of a sudden it worked fine. He said the posts needed to be cleaned though, so I had...
the clicking noise was due to the bad battery. the starter solinoid was not getting enough power to turn it over. try this if possible, engine off at battery should be at least 12.6 volts. start the car and if alternator is ok, it should read 14.2 to 14.7. if not repair alternator. what happens, is the voltage regulator in alt. goes bad and will not supply enough current to battery. good-day !

Sounds like your alternator isn't charging your battery. Also make sure your battery is load tested to make sure it's still good.

sounds like a starter problem. You need to have an experienced mechanic evaluate your car. You may have an electrical problem that is depriving battery power to the starter. Or it simply may be a bad starter. Once again you need to have a mechanic who is knowledgable with electrical diagnosis evaluate your cars system. hope this helps.

Car won't start even after new battery purchase
Alternator problem, the alternator charges the battery when car is running, so it has probably died now. Was working at reduced capacity for a while, which is why you were only getting a partial charge for some time. Now you have an open circuit completely as alternator has failed completely, time for a visit to an auto electrician. PS replacing acid in battery with distilled water is not a good idea. It probably was time for a new battery anyway.
