I have been having this problem lately, whenever the car sits for about 8hrs or so and i want to start the car the battery its drained, all you hear is clicking sounds, i already exchanged the battery bc i thought it was a bad battery or maybe that i had left a light on but thats not the problem, it seems to happen if the car its sitting off for a couple of hours, after a jump the car starts fine and you can use it without a problem, its very frustrating, im thinking its the starter or the alternator, any of you guys jave any idea??

 

if its dead its not the starter its more likely the alternator...do you have aftermaket stereo eq?

 

^+1

 

nope

 

do i have to go to my car and beat down the alternator like i used to do to my honda when it went bad? lol

 

go get a battery test done, they will also test your alternator while they check the battery

 

i had the battery replaced, they never checked the alternator though, good idea, thanx

 

it is most likely your alternator.... have it checked out...

 

just got back from auto zone, my alternator is going bad, does anyone knows if this is a difficult install?? i have done older hondas and nissans but im not too sure how hard this would be

 

its not that difficult at all except you have to get it out from under the car.i hate removing all those damn bolts for the lower panel though while on your back.

 

alternator dawg. fo shoo
