Colin,
Sorry to hear your having bad luck with your cars! It sounds as if it could
be the alt. but just to check the battery turn on your head lights when you
start the car. Have someone watch them and if they dim completely then the
battery is dead. Problem here is that it is probably dead because the ALT.
isn't charging the battery. But from the sounds of things, it could very
well be the alt. Personally I would check the battery first since it's the
cheaper of the two. Take care man and drop me a line sometime!
late,

Subject: SML: Alternator or Battery? HELP!
I went to the store today with my 92 NX1600 and when I started it, it seemed
to struggle, which it has never done before. I was driving along and the
stereo turned off, and the clock was really dimming when I would brake. I
decided to get it home before it died and on the way, when I would brake,
the dash board lights would all go out and the headlights would dim. I
parked it in the driveway by my MR2 that doesn't start and tried to start
the NX, no luck, just a lot of clicking, it didn't try to crank even, but
the dash lights went on. Is this my alternator or my battery? Please help,
I have no cars that start and I can't live without a car.
Thanks,
Colin
