our 1999 expedition battery light illuminated and moments after the lights dimmed and it lost all power took it to auto zone they tested the alt they said it was good and they said the battery was shot but it was the opposite the alt was bad maybe the battery was bad but it still cranks the engine over without any problems replaced the alt and everything is ok i‘m just wondering why they told me something that wasn‘t true
The game comes with only one wheel and you can buy them by themselves at all kinds of stores.
it comes with one, and yes u can buy it seperatly however using the nun chuck is better
Maybe they just used a little hand held that tested voltage but no load test. If you jump started and drove it there it might have had a surface charge and would show as a bad battery. A bad alternator can show 13.5 volts or better running with no load and drop down to 6 under a 30 amp load.
Never ever disconnect the battery cable when the engine is running. That is not a valid test for anything and you run the risk of causing damage from voltage spikes. That test only worked before cars became computerized. Whenever you have a problem with starting the car, the first time to do is put the battery on a battery charger, preferably with an overnight trickle charge, and then go from there.
Alternators don't start cars. Mechanically good starters and fully charged batteries do. The alternator should be charging the battery once the engine has started at the rate of between 13.5 -14.2 volts. The alternator provides amperage for all the cars electrical systems when the car is running. I'm pretty sure the non-mechanics at Auto Zone didn't tell you that!
