  6. 87 hatch ea81, When Im driving at low speeds, my battery light is very dim, and will get brighter, and my lights will dim as well, and then get brighter when i step on the gas, and the battery light will go off when accel, or just reving up. I changed my belt, because the old one was a little loose and old. What do you think it could be? Alternator? or battery?

  13. The battery wasn't really new. It was just a donor battery. And she was half dead. But we had her hooked up on the cables for at least 10 minutes. So it should have had enough juice to at least stay running. Well see How it works today with a full charge. .
  14. I put in a new battery And alternator. my battery light stays on. And the won't let any charge take place. Fire up no problem. As soon as the jumper cables come off. Car dies. I'm no electrical worker. But I'm fearing I have a bad electrical somewhere. Checked all grounds. Nothing I can see is bad. .. where to go next. Any suggestions. Ever had this issue before..
  15. Its something.g in the charging system. Battery light stays on as sports. As I take the jumper cables off it dies. What the hell... something in the charging system?? Put on new alty and a diffrwnt battery still happens. So weird. I don't want to sell it. Just frustrated speech. Habaaha
