| [title] Test Battery charing is occuring | |
| [* black] Check your battery voltage with the engine off by selecting DC Voltage on your multimeter and putting the red probe on the positive terminal and the black problem on the negative terminal as fully charged battery will show around 12.6V if the Voltage is 10.6V or lower your battery is fully discharged,(flat). | |
| [* black] Start the car and repeat the test the voltage should show between 13.5 and 14.5 volts. | |
| [* black] ***If the voltage is still at 12.6V or less with the engine running the battery is not being charged! It's time to troubleshoot the charging circuit!*** | |
| - | [* black] Turn off the engine at this point all of the power is being drawn from the battery |
| + | [* black] Now check the alternator is being driven. Check the drive belt is not slipping or broken! If either is true replace the belt and skip ahead to the reassembly stage for how to fit a new drive belt. |
| + | [* black] ***Now Turn off the engine***, all the power is coming from your battery you do not want to completely drain it! |
