Sign In We have a 2005 Kia Soronto w/ 60K miles on it. We bought the car used in May of 2010. In September, we replaced the battery. High end, good battery, not a cheap one. this morning, car will not turn over. Tried to juimp it, no go. Acted like it wanted to take a charge but would be a slow process. What should I try next? thank you for your help! Kelley Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 9, 2010, 10:56 AM Post #2 of 5 (1172 views) Re: Battery or Alternator? Sign In The fact that the battery is not old doesn't change how you approach the problem. You start by charging the battery and then having it tested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sign In Jumpers don't always get a good connection and there are several grades of quality for them. I'd check cables, that they are clean and snug. Charge battery with a charger as if real low it's hard on the alternator to charge a near dead battery, T KRSmith New User Dec 9, 2010, 2:55 PM Post #5 of 5 (1156 views) Re: Battery or Alternator? Sign In Thank you! I will get a charger! I used to be pretty god at this, but these cars with computers, etc, leave me a little lost.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
