Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM: DISCHARGED OR WEAK BATTERY
CAUSE REMEDY
Battery posts and/or cable
terminal oxidized.
Clean battery terminals,
posts, an
dcoatwith
dielectric grease.
Loose or bad
connections.
Check for wiring and
connector tightness,
frayed o
rbrokenwires.
Repair or replace cables
or connectors.
Faulty battery (sulfated,
fretti
ng, shorted plates
or cell, damaged casing,
loose post).
Replace battery.
Burnt fuse(s) or faulty
rectifier.
First check fuse(s). If in
good c
ondition, check
voltage regulator/rectifier.
Fault
ystator.
Test stator and replace as
required.
Parasitic or “Key Off”
current loads.
Isolate, reduce or
elim
inate such loads,
recharge battery as
recommended if vehicle
is no
t used for extended
periods of time.
NOTE: “Key Off” or parasitic loads may be loads
due to installed accessories. Parasitic loads may
also be due to water infiltration in connectors, or
partial short circuits that slowly drain a battery
without causing a fuse to burn.
NOTE: A battery that continually necessitates the
addition of distilled water indicates an over voltage
situation. Carry out a
CHARGING SYSTEM VOLT-
AGE TEST
.
