RE: Can a bad

A bad ground can indeed show the symtoms you describe. So can a bad alternator. It's easy to troubleshoot. First, make sure you have a good connection between your negative battery terminal and the engine block and the alternator housing. Then, with a charged battery, start the car and measure the voltage across the battery. If it shows 12 volts, the alternator is not charging the battery. If it shows close to 14 volts, then the charging system is working fine. By the way...if you have a seperate voltage regulator, it can go causing the alternator to not charge the battery. Check the connections to it as well.
This thread, so far...
