  1. I have replace everything bu the alternator and voltage regulator. The meter says the alternator is good , how can I tell if its the regulatro?
  2. Not cured, Still have intermittent battery drain while stopped, Alternator is working, I charge battery at night works good for a while then randomly cuts out all electronic devices shut off then systems shut down then eventfully dies, Then I wait 10 min jump it works fine for driven again, got home checked battery at 12.5 V and 40 %. At my wits end any other ideas?
  3. Everything is working properly it appears that he battery drain is coming form the alarm system, The battery read 13.4 Volts and 100% charged then the car is locked and alarm is activated it, drains to 40% in 4-5 hrs. Is there a way to pull the fuse to disable the alarm system so I can see if the battery holds charge with this off? Ray
  4. I continue to get "charge battery", Battery discharge while stopped" and every now an then actually shuts everything down , wait 10 min starts up again with jump then runs ok. I got new battery and new cables and still keeps doing this. Anyone else have this problem? Ray
