Power down

Hi,

It sounds like the battery went dead. This could be the result of a failed battery or alternator. First, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Next, recharge the battery. If you don't have a charger, most parts stores will do it for you free of charge.

Once the battery is recharged and you can start the vehicle, follow the directions in this link to test the alternator.

If the alternator is working as it should, take the vehicle to a parts store and have them load test the battery or perform this test. If it fails, replace the battery.

Here is a link to help if it is determined the battery is bad:

Now, if the alternator fails and it isn't the battery, here is a link that shows in general how an alternator is replaced:

Also, and this just popped into my mind, make sure the belt is tight to the alternator.

I attached a pic below showing the alternator location. If you plan to remove it, make sure the battery is disconnected before working on it.

Let me know if you have questions. If you find the problem and have a chance, let me know what it was.

Take care,
Joe

Thank you so much Joe for all the helpful info. this at least gives me a starting point. I'll keep you posted.

You are very welcome. Please feel free to let me know if you have questions and what you find.

It is the alternator a friend told me to jump the car and with it running disconnect the positive battery terminal and if it dies then it probably will be the alternator... You learn something new everyday I guess thanks again.

You are very welcome. Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.
