Low battery Sign In

987 FORD Mustang

I got a problem with my battery not charging. I took my battery and alternator to have it tested and they said that it was good. so i went to pull some fuses under my dash to see if i got a short somewhere. I went and pulled my radio fuse, as i checked the battery meter on the dash the meter dropped. Im not sure what the problem with the wiring is because the fuse that i pulled goes along with the radio, lights, door locks, etc. Before all this my door locks would not stop locking and unlocking, so i pulled the cable off the battery terminal and it stopped. by the way the fuse i pulled was not blown. can you help me. cant afford to go to a dealer right now. thanks

Re: Low battery Sign In

The first thing you want to try is cleaning the connectors and terminals. They get corrosion on them and can cause some issues. Be sure to pull the connectors out of the little rubber boots too. Take a wire brush or some emery cloth to them and shine em up real good. It also helps to put some dielectric grease on them. That will help prevent future corrosion by helping to keep the moisture out. Even if they look okay clean them anyways. Also check the cables from the alternator to the battery and clean them too.

This will normally resolve the problem. Let us know if it helps or not and we can go from there.
