larryl Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I would start with getting the battery and or alternator tested for issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitish Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I changed the battery and cables but same issues. What should I do check alternator or any other thing? Edited November 3, 2020 by Nitish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) AutoZone or other auto parts stores usually can test your battery and alternator for no charge. If the battery was bad and you replaced it, and you still have a charging/starting issue, an alternator test would be the next step. Also, if you just bought it, if it was from a dealer I’d be calling them to deal with it. Edited November 3, 2020 by OhareFred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavalLacrosse Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Have a mechanic check the Alternator. Mine experienced similar symptoms as you described. (If) The alternator has failed, or is no longer providing the power to charge the car. Without the alternator, the car is desperately trying to maintain basic operation (driving) by killing non-essential processes. First on mine was the radio, then the HVAC, then the ABS, Speed Sensors, and eventually the engine sputtered to death after 40 minutes. If you delay, the new battery may also be permanently damaged, needing a possible replacement again. After changing the alternator on my car, the issues went away.

OhareFred Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) What were the numbers on the battery and alternator tests? A proper newer testing device will give you a printout with the numbers. I agree, you will kill the battery if you are trying to drive it around with a bad alternator. Put the battery on a slow,smart charger until it reads full, then go get the alternator tested again. Tell use what the results are. Good luck!!
