Does it start back up? Sounds like a dead battery. Probably a bad alternator or alternator fuse

I had the same problem when I first rebuilt my laser, find a place that will load test your battery. It could be as simple as a dead/falty one.

As well as checking all connections with a fine tooth comb to start to eliminate different sources.

Goodluck!

Start with fuses and look for loose connections/shorts

Try going to another autoparts store near your house: Autozone, Pepboys, etc and just tell them you want to see if your batterys faulty or not. They usually do it for free. I honestly wouldn't go nor recommend Walmart. Lol

Have them do an alternator test for you also. That will tell you if its not charging. To test the fuse, use a test light and make sure it lights up on both sides of the fuse.

I would definitely look at the fuse first. You already had to replace it, so you could have a short in the charging output wires between your alternator and the fuse

Just want to add that if you have an ohmmeter/multimeter, you can check it with the continuity setting. There shouldn't any [measureable] resistance across a good fuse.

So you have power to lights and door dinger 100% of time while this happening? Sound's ignition related. Ignition switch, MPI relay. Has the wires under your dash been messed with at all?

this cars front harness by fans and headlights are hacked to hell... and i dont have turnsignals and tail lights either.. replaced the turn signal switch.... but im gonna check the fuze

just checked the alternator fuze its good power to both sides.. what could it be now? could it be a ignition relay? or do these not have one? if so where is it located and i also have an igniton switch, thank god for parts car..99gst

Please try again with a more descriptive thread title. A generic thread title like this does not help me when browsing new threads to see if I can offer help or when searching old threads for info to help myself or others.

I would go through and make sure all of your fuses are good, but I would check battery voltage too. It should be at or close to 12.6 volts. If you have power to everything, check your connections at the starter and start looking at your grounds also. It could be ignition related, but I would start with fuses and connections. Make sure u have a good connection on the battery terminals.

if the battery is dieing, it could send the alternator into a "Overload Mode" sortaspeak, where the alternator tries to hard to charge the system and the battery. Maybe that is the problem..


where you stranded or something? Is that why you made this thread with an incomplete description?

Hope you make it through man!
