    di kaya...

    --- sira na battery

    o kaya...

    --- grounded

    Pwedeng

    ---- defective ang alternator

    maari ring

    --- ipa-general check up na sa auto electrician.

    Loose battery connection.

    Drained battery. (left the lights on, etc).

    even with old worn out batteries, there should still be a charge enough to run lights, etc.

    I agree with the loose battery connection, check the terminals, then work your way up.

    same here. but my rusted beater car shows weirdness when it rains. the first time, it drove the large relay for the glow plugs clicking intermittently when i used signal lights.

    i don't think it's the battery or the alternator. they weren't wet. the wet part is the large bundle of wires going into the car from the engine bay and some wiring routed through the roof for a rear dome light.

    this black out never happened before. just recently, i drove and parked. then it rained. after the rain i got back and switched and there's nothing. horns, signal lights, display panel, nothing. so the old timer, manggaiber, mechanic taught me how to direct start the car from the engine bay. he took a wire coming from the low side of the engine and another i don't know where. i'll check later. one wire going to the batt, the other to touch the batt to start.

    i best forward this to dusky lim's thread. for now i'm running the car this way. but only in daylight.

    it's probably a ground. i tested everything just now. it's back to normal even though the car is dripping in morning dew. the black out happened while the car was parked tilted towards the driver side.

    checked: battery 12.60V, alternator 14.60V. all display panel lights, park lights, signal lights, headlights high and low are ok.

    i'm gonna have those rusted parts fixed now.

    the culprit is one of the wires in the main bundle from the battery. i found out when i recreated the blackout when i rearranged the battery and moved the bundle aside. when i flex it up, power would come back.

    before that power was lost and came back the next rainy morning without me moving anything.

    i haven't really fixed this one yet. fiery vehicle waiting to happen.
