battery issues!!

[wolf39us]

ok I am going NUTS...my 87 5.0 has been having issues where everytime I go to start t he vehicle it will either slowly turn the engine and not start...or just make clicking sounds!!!

this is my second battery!! the first battery did the same thing....the second battery fixed the problem for about a month and then it started happening again..!

something has got to be draining my battery down!

would only an alarm system do such a thing??? I am really starting to get annoyed with this thing...

I'm pretty certain it's not the alternator because when I jump start the car and charge the battery....the battery will continue to start the car for about 12-15 hours after..!!

check the resistance in the starter from the starter to the relay
if u have cuts and lil tears in the wire! it will start very slow or not at all
get a ohmeter and set to resistance! just make sure the car is off! than
if u want check if the relay is bad
do a voltage drop across the relay should read very low
if u have a high reeading the relay is prob bad
also check ur ground or if u battery is dieing alot check for lil lights on when the key is out of the ignition

could even be a bad altenator..... check for corrorded wires and have the started checked.
