So the 94 money pit/super special hooker edition gt is giving me issues with my electrical system, my batteries have been dying on me after a few hours of driving. I pulled the alternator and had it checked at a couple of different places (just to make sure one of them didn't **** up the test) and it tests fine. I don't have a big stereo or anything that should be drawing any major power so I'm thinking there is a short somewhere as the battery is only around 6 months old



How do I check the voltage going to the battery at idle? (and what should it be) The idiot guage on my cluster usually indicates 1/2 to 1/4 so it's not telling me alot. Does anyone have any other suggestions of what can be causing this? If you don't have any suggestions, feel free to post pictures of hot women/your wife/your gf/your hot sister/your hot mom/your hot cousin/your hot daughter



Thanks in advance

Put an LS1 in it.

lol, i would check the wiring to make sure its actually making it to the battery

DO NOT PUT A DAMN FOREIGN OWNED ENGINE IN IT!

drhoward

lol, but will that fix the charging issue???????????????????????

drhoward

There are no completly loose wires, but they could be shorting somewhere. I replaced the engine a couple of years ago and I'm a pretty ****ty mechanic

lol @ the mechanic part. check the charge in your main line leaving the alternator all the way to the battery. If not im guessing ground. OR do you have the underdrives?

drhoward

I have underdrives, but I didn't bother doing the pully on the alternator. What should the voltage be coming out of alternator/going to the battery? I've never checked it before

Sell it and get a new Charger.

.....then put an LS1 in it.

ok, that was the last one. But your sig makes it hard for me to take you serious, lol.

above 14 is ideal
