Battery or Alternator Problem?

[sprex]

Hi Guys,

Tulong naman po..

Napansin ko lang na kapag start ko ng car tapos on ko ung mga lights sa mga gauges (speedometer, tachometer, etc.) nad di-dim ung CLOCK nung car. Di naman naka-on ung low-batt indicator tapos nung nag try ako high beam nag shut off yung engine?? (1 beses lang) Problem kaya sa batt or alternator?

Bagong palit pala ung batt ko last saturday..

Thanks,
Chris

May nakita akong tester for battery and alternator sa Concorde Megamall. Di ko lang maalala kung magkano. Pero sure below 400 pesos. Plug in type sa lighter and yung reults ay shown by led lights.

Can this device check if the batt and the alternator are working OK?

since bago pa battery mo..try this. upon turning on the engine for about 5-10min, pull-out mo yung red cable from the battery. pag namatay engine mo, alternator yan. hth

Red is positive. Lagyan mo ng tanda. Paano naging black pareho iyan? hehehe. Baka malito pa mechanics kapag nag-work sa engine mo.

Yes, the clock dims when you turn on the lights. Para hindi nakakasilaw sa gabi.

Try mo yung trick ni puroy. Ganun ginagawa sa mga electrical shops. Make sure hindi ka nakadikit sa body ng car.

Kung bagong palit lang, check mo kung maluwag yung pagkakabit.

The digital clock dimming feature was with our 95 Corolla para masmadali makita sa gabi (parang ganun) pero kung may iba pang symptoms check the battery and connections first dahil yun ang most recent na nakalikot.
