Whats killing my battery?

[william78]

Well heres my problem i have a 1994 ford explorer xlt my battery light is on i have replaced the starter solenoid, alternator, and battery, and something is still killing my battery, It's fine for a couple of days then it dies. The light stays on constantly, could this be a relay or bad cable or wire? can someone please help me? Thank you

Welcome to this forum! The battery light staying on indicates that it's not charging. New alternators could be bad, so check your charging system with a voltmeter to see what the voltage is while it's running. You should get a reading of approximately 14.7 volts.

Any aftermarket electronics? Speakers? Winch? Ipod hook ups? stuff like that...

You could try whats known as the "big 3"

If you have something grounding out that shouldnt be then this wont fix the prob.

This will only fix the problem if the battery/alternator wire is malfunctioning.
