Alternator problems? Do a Fusible link test first 

I hope you resolve the issue. Cheers!

J Pol I’m having this exact problem replaced battery replaced alternator only needed that one fuse wasted about 500 dollars in the whole ordeal and I did all the work myself (paid 200 battery 190 for alternator)

Thanks

Yo did it work the fuse able link on yo dodge

@@CameronabeastThuglife yes it did, works great 👍

@@sickofliberals9403 I'm having the same issue I'm gonna try it to thanks

@@CameronabeastThuglife your welcome

Thank you! Cheers

I don't know if you have a Harbor Freight near you or you can order it online but you can get a 12 volt short finder for around 15 to $30 remove the airbag relay and fuse plug the one in onto your battery turn over your key like you're going to start your engine and then it has another part start tracing your wires from underneath your hood and then once it starts beeping you have found your short take a marker and either mark your fuses where your wire where you find your short but the most important thing is to remove those pieces for the airbags because if you do not before you start with the short finder you'll blow your airbag system make sure you follow that it is in the instructions if you have any questions feel free to reach out

Check this video out it might help you find your problem ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6xFo_oHFF48.html

Usually they blow because they are old and have a bad ground or the glass fuses start to break down over time. Always start with the simple things first and diagnose your way down the list!

Good to see someone else catch on!

Ya I was thinking do I gotta chuck all I knew about resistance out the window? Because 0 means no resistance!

Actually the term he should be using is continuity. Means checking to see if there is a connection between 2 points. Also used for checked to see if a circuit is shorted to ground which would cause a fuse to blow. Resistance is for a load. Coils, heaters, motor windings etc. I am an AC guy so we have to check continuity constantly. Now if I can find the fusible link on my Cadillac I'll be estactic.

Can you please explain what you meant by elusive but deadly??

Cheers!

To be even more contentious..... he is reading both continuity and the small resistance of the circuit wire...ha ha... so he is still right

Did you solve your issue?

voltronsupreme I have a video on making wine coolers, I show the math for how many juice containers you'll need how much water. the sugar really depends on how strong you want it. turbo yeast will finish below 1.000. figure out what abv you want and add the sugar until you hit that of. I would start with at least 2kg / 4lbs of sugar

Yes I believe so, I have the same setup and will have to open up all the wires.

It depends on the vehicle.

Mine goes from alt to starter solenoid.

no.what he did was right.hes checking resistance.basically he just checked for continuity.does matter which probes went on the b terminal.

Cheers!

Did you fixed the problème

If you have sparks when touching negative to frame you have a positive circuit touching ground somehow. Harnesses, block and chassis all tie into ground.

I replaced the whole wire. Most cars you can solder a new fusible link in the wire, but Jeep has the link fused to the metal plate that attaches to the fuse box so replacing the wire was the easiest choice. Cheers Dano!

@@steve45ca I'm really curious how you replaced the whole wire? Where does it run from?

@@phillippardo5712 it runs from the alternator to the fuse box

@@steve45ca Thank you for the reply! On my 2010 Jeep compass my fusible link runs from the alt to the starter solenoid. Mine was burned in half so I just reconnected the the wire with a metal crimp clip I squeezed with pliers and wrapped in electrical tape and black duck tape. I didn't have shrink wrap and tried to avoid taking out the starter because it was a pita. The alt is charging now and seems to be functioning fine. Do you think what I did was okay?

So change these

Leave no stone unturned. Glad my video helped you. Cheers!

If the fusible links are bad no power gets to your fuse box and nothing gets powered

wow... where to start.... if your battery is draining overnight you have a good short that will need to be tracked down. Hopefully you can find a friend who can help you find it, finding electrical shorts are very time consuming unless you can find a shop that specializes in vehicle electrical systems. Sorry I can't help you further. You could see if there is a video on how to check relays and test those first

Naw, that's excellent man. The reassurance is all I needed honestly. I'm really bad with electronics and will have a friend help me on Wednesday. Thanks again.

Brandon, I know it's been 7 months but did you get it figured out... I once had a bad ground connection at my battery post and my car could start, and run, but with what was basically the battery not being connected, I was running off my alt. (not good), and as soon as I would turn my lights on (put a load on it) the car would start dying out. I would try to restart it and get a click, then nothing. Turned out that my negative post cable which had one of those unscrew type quick-disconnects was not keeping the ground connection on the post. anyway, I took that off my neg. cable and connected it with just the factory connector and everything was fine. What really threw me off is I would disconnect the ground for a few seconds then connect it and it would start, but just until it started going haywire. So by disconnecting the neg cable I thought I was resetting the computer and that is why it would restart and that part really had me worried it was something more serious, when actually I was just loosening the quick connect then when I tightened it back up it was getting enough connection to start the car. Hard to explain, but a word of advise, be aware of those twist type quick connectors... It did last about 4 years though...

You sure that ground was actually ground? Sounds like it wasnt. Constantly blowing the main should tell you something.

Kristie Nordbye I think your pt cruiser needs an exorcism......lol that's a super bad short for sure. I'd see if there's a shop that specializes in electrical systems for vehicles.

it could

Your problem is fix ? I had the same problem and it was the ground under the battery plat he was broken i change it and now everything number one

I don't know to be honest. I don't think I'd try it. Cheers

@@steve45ca Thanks. Everyone I talked with and all research is 50/50. Found link wire and replaced. Pain in the ass!. I would recommend to anybody find a truck at a pull a part and take all wiring from alt,starter and battery if possible. Never want to do that again

Ryan wilkins...you may want to see how this guy went about the fusible link..type...fusible link repaired my way...here on you tube...cheers.

If the fusible link is corroded bad enough its possible to could cause charging problems, however if you suspect the fusible links you should check them. Cheers!

My fusible link runs from alt to starter as well. It was burned in half so I just reconnected it with a rigged crimp with pliers and wrapped in electrical tape and black duck tape. It's charging now and seems okay.

You’ve got a grounding problem.

yes, he means continuity

That's what I thought too.

Where's alternator b located

3:20 is where the fusible link is shown

That's not good you have something hooked up wrong and your mechanic is an idiot if he keeps replacing them without finding the cause.

You have a bad electrical ground somewhere that the shop hasn’t caught and it’s most likely the the alternator but without the car in front of me to test it I couldn’t say for sure but you definitely need to go to a different shop and go find an actual trained Technician!!!!

My son had a spare Jeep Cherokee so we just grabbed the whole wiring harness for that bit in the video I just wanted to make sure I could pass electricity through the fusible link to make sure it wasn't broken and it worked great even after he sold it

5 months ago but "2004 Grand cherokee"

You've got a weird electrical issue that seems to keep the alternator constantly charging..... I haven't a clue what it could be though. They have mechanic forums for all cars, I'd try and find one and ask there. Cheers

Yes they do. Cheers!

No polarity isnt a problem

sounds link a short bud or perhaps the disconnected wires touching ground

He needs to buy a new volt meter. keeps on jumping around . he does not understand basic terms for electricity. uses a bad meter . also wrong terms .

You ever figure it out? In a similar boat

Or the battery is low

True enough however after replacing the battery and replacing the alternator this was a lesson learned cheers thanks for watching
