My battery keeps dieing

I replaced the battery a month ago, and it held a good charge for a few weeks, than i've had to replace the battery twice in 3 days. The alternator wiring harness is spliced not very good in my opinion by the clip at the alternator and the other end is in the fuse box in the ac-cruis fuse space with a 20 amp fuse, I'm not convinced this is where it belongs, could someone please tell me where the end is supposed to go?

Take it to an accredited auto electrician as it indicates that the voltage regulator is not in the circuit and the alternator is boiling the battery from way over voltage

SOURCE: 50 amp fuse keeps blowing

There are several ways to solve this problem. You need a schematic of vehicle from Haynes or whoever, such high amperage I would place in line fuses to each item, that way it will isolate problem then look for bare or rubbing wire under seat or in doors ( too much junk jammed under seats) ? Anyway with a little time and some disassembly should be a simple fix.

SOURCE: 2004 suburban 1500 battery keeps going dead

Something is obviously putting a drain on the battery, if all the things you had checked are good. If you disconnect the negative terminal on the battery touch it back, it should spark a little, but not alot. If it sparks quite a bit you know something is staying on that shouldn't. Possibly a glove box light, or if your truck has a light under the hood the mercury switch in it may have gone bad causing it to stay on. If it's taking 8 days to go dead you'll be looking for something small. I hope this helps.

  1. Test the voltage going to your battery using a multimeter. The voltage should be around 14.3-14.6 volts when running. This would mean your alternator is working fine.
  2. If the voltage is around 12 or less, you should check your Alternator fuse, and the wiring leading to your alternator.
  3. At the alternator, measure the voltage going to the main power wire/post for 12 volts with the engine off. Is the voltage equal to battery positive voltage (B+)? If not, repair the circuit.
  4. If your alternator is charging correctly, you may have a faulty instrument cluster, or a short in the wiring.
  5. Inspect the Battery case, posts, hold-down clamp, cables and connections for damage.
  6. Inspect the Generator drive (serpentine) belt for condition and tension to make sure there is no slip between the belt and the pulley.
  7. Inspect the Generator pulley.
  8. Check the operation of the charging system warning indicator in the instrument cluster. Normal operation is as follows:
  • With the key off, the charging system warning indicator should be off.
  • With the key on and the engine off, the charging system warning indicator should be on.
  • With the engine running, the charging system warning indicator should be off.

Own a 2012 Cadillac SRX. Battery keeps dying, have replaced it twice in the month and half I’ve had it, replaced the alternator. Dealership said the OnStar module needed to be replaced, that it would pull...

They need a DSO with multiple channels, else they need to remove a fuse or a group of fuses to determine which load or loads, once disabled stop the battery drain. Then figure out why the loads are being activated.

You have to start somewhere, I'd start with lighting, both interior and exterior and large resistive loads such as window defrost.

Battery not charging showing on the display for the second time after I changed the battery once and the altenator twice. What could the problem be?

Take a good look at the alternator plug. The tabs on the inside should all look the same. Also a lot of corrosion can cause no contact. Replace the plug if necessary.

I saw what you replaced, didn't see any testing? What testing have you done? Make sure battery has a full charge?
When the problem is ongoing, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes?
If you have the spider fuel system, that system is noted for problems.

2001 Xterra - Replaced fuel pump twice and is still not running.

I am no expert, but I just had a similar problem. The car would shake and buck when accelerating. It finally just died and would not start. After sitting for some time, the car would start and run a while, then do the same thing. I thought fuel pump. The dealer diagnosed distributor. After replacing, the car is running perfect. Something to think about. Good luck.
