[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 2896116, member: 1111"] I wouldn't count on the battery test being accurate. A bad battery can test "good" so I would recommend trying a known good battery or even taking the risk on buying a new one. (Maybe you can buy at Wal-Mart and return if it doesn't help?) The reason I say this is my previous experience back when I maintained about a dozen vehicles for the business I owned. After a few times of being told that a vehicle needed a new alternator and new battery and paying for the replacement of both I just started replacing the battery first. Since I began that practice I have never not even once had to replace an alternator again. I don't know if I was being scammed or if it is just a coincidence but I'm always willing to gamble a $100 battery against a $500+ repair. Bryan [/QUOTE]
