I noticed while removing the alternator there was a large 14mm bolt on top of the alternator contacting the alternator it was practically fallig out. I tightened the bolt. I then noticed the belt for the alternator was extrememly worn and cracked practically all the way through. I replaced the belts reconnected the alternator. Replaced the negative ground wire, which was missing the bottom half o fthe insulation and was extremely corroded on the battery. I checked the fuses for the alternator and the main fuse. They are all in proper working order.
I then had the battery tested again since it was not holding a charge and was corroding the negative terminal again. The battery tested in good condition. The civic is still not holding a charge. Any suggestions?
Is there a simple way to check for a power drain?
