Cadillac battery charge

SOURCE: 1999 Durango will not start, no fire

ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING

SOURCE: truck won't start

You should check your battery cables with an ohmmeter and see if they have any resistance,they should be at 0 ohms or just alittle over,but could possibly be the starter solenoid also.I had this same problem with my Toyota last year,hard starting sometimes needed a jump and then the alt went bad,turned out to be the solenoid was shorting intermittantly.Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Battery is dead, had it charged, meter read 14

was the battery tested? that is the 1st thing u do after charging, very likely the battery has a dead or shorted cell, this drains the battery down very quickly, Kragen and Autozone will test the battery and the charging system for free, suggest you have that done.

SOURCE: With the Battery charged it will go dead sitting

theres a draw somewhere. these are sometimes hard to pinpoint.start by checking that all lights turn off,glovebox underhood light all lights,you will need a meter to meter the draw amps, then with key off doors closed look at the draw amount,.02 to.03 is allowable, start removing fuses and watch if amps drop,one fuse at atime, start with this to try and pin down a location of the draw.hope this helps.

before u decide the battery has an outside draw on it have the battery load tested, Kragen, Autozone and many other parts stores do this for free, when a battery is run dead like this it can develop a shorted out cell and this causes an internal draw, after u have verified the battery is good the next thing to do is go out at night and look for any lights that may be on in the interior, if u have lighted visor vanity mirrors make sure those are not on as well, also check consoles and glove box lights and cargo light for the bed.
