My battery light stays on when the car is off and the light is off when the key is in the ON position.
That's just not right!
Anyone else ever had this problem?
I just did alot of electrical work; Hid the fuse box and wiring, battery relocation, and switches in the car.
The battery light has ignition power going through it. After the battery light, the wire goes to the alternator regulator's I circuit.
The regulator will ground the circuit when there's less than around 10 volts output (including when the alternator hasn't excited). Once the alternator excites, the ground is removed and the battery light goes out.
I'd start chasing wires but I couldn't begin to have a suggestion as to where to chase.
Had alternator/voltage regulator tested today, no problems.
car started up today the first time, but now will not start.
As the motor is cranking the chime under the dash dings at will. My chime never did that before, it only should do that when the key is turned to the ON position.
It very well might take going back over all the wires you relocated/modified to try and find where things went bad. I'm sorry but I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking. Maybe the guys who do wire hiding might have experience about where to look when things go bad.
Here's the lowdown;
Car starts runs for about 5 minutes then dies, Battery dead.
Checked the ground on the block, made it better.
Checked the alternator, its fine.
Moved the battery back up to under the hood, didn't help.
My question;
What do i look for and how do i look for it. never delt with a problem like this before.
