Hello once again all at bobistheoilguy
Car is a 1998 toyota corolla. OK..3 months ago, i bought a new battery, from walmart. Past 3 weeks? When turning the key, thier was a click noise from engine, and wouldnt start. ide do it again, and it would start. sometimes ide pop the hood, and shake the battery and it would start very good. Well last night, wnet to local store. coming out, turned car over, and it made a loudish squeel noise, coming from sitting in car, looking at engine, right hand area, lights dimmed, and loud exhaust noise. it squeeled as i drove but eventualy went away after some 5-7 minutes. the lightdimming did return too normal after 1 minute.
this am...same routine..shook battery, car didnt start at all! and i tried again few hours ago. tried too jump start with my brother in law. cleaned upbattery cable connections.
the diodes in alterantor still look good. some green, but thiers plenty of copper still showing. i hve replaced the belt too.
I did notice....when turning the key, thier was no click noise this time around. tried many mny times. no click. we stoped at autozone got a new battery, valuecraft and same thing. no click noise, im assuming the starter.
its dark out now so gunna look at it tomorrow. i am aware too check the fuses, relays. its obvisouly and most likely, the alternator or starter. im not sure which one, or could be both?
any ideas on on this.? again turning key, thiers power..too dash. check engine light is on...but noclicking noise at all. so dunno if its alternator or starter.
