more problems with my battery charging!!!!?
btw its a 97 Mits. Mirage DE.. ok i posted a question on here about how the battery quit charging and i used a make-shift wire to run from the alternator to the battery.. it worked for about a week and quit.. my lights were going dim on me, the SRS Airbag light was coming on.. was told it was the make shift wire i used because it wasnt think enough.. WELL.. i replaced that with the proper wire from the auto parts store.. let the battery charge back up and went to drive it around to test it.. the lights didnt go dim, the SRS light didnt come on anymore.. i even used my brights, the blinker and the wipers at the same time which probably would have made it die before lol.. but it was all fine!!.. so i stop the car and turned it off.. immediately i tried to turn the car back on and couldnt get fire.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR?!?!?! please no answers saying "the alternator is bad".. no its not!! i had it checked.. and plus if it was bad, the car wouldnt keep itself running with a dead battery and bad alternator.. maybe the ground wire from the battery isnt grounding out properly??
to TheBax… if u see this.. i dunno how to reply to just u.. no my battery light does not come on.. the only light to ever come on was the SRS Airbag light.. and how can i check to see if those fuses are good?? and is it a fuse under the hood? or under the dash?? and i dont know how many V’s are coming out of the battery when its running the only tester i have is just one u ground out and stick it to what ur checkin and it lights up..
NVM i see u said in the engine compartment.. but i still need to know how to check if they are good or not.. this car has been jumped plenty of time.. i just got home from taking my Fiance to school.. and even after 30 minutes of driving.. which it ran just fine.. the car wouldnt start back up after i turned it off..
Is the battery charge indicator light on with KOEO? There is an 80amp and/or 100amp main fuse in the engine compartment fuse box that blows when a battery is jumped or charged for a second. These fuses are bolted in and don’t just pull out like the smaller fuses. Your alternator may check out good at a parts store but I’ve already had a bad alternator that checked out OK at Auto Zone. You should have at least 13.7 volts at the battery with the motor running or else you have a bad diode in the alternator and it is not charging enough and may also drain the battery when the motor is off. Don’t trust alternator testing off the car.

Ignoring the alternator wire for now since your repair seems to work,it appears as though there is a quirk with the starter or connections on it.Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to tighten it’s wires at the terminals and try rapping on it with something to shock it out of a dead spot on the commutator.
