- Does your battery keep dying on you? Are you getting low voltage, even with a new alternator? Before you take it to a mechanic or go get a new battery test this first! It maybe a simple fix!
Sometimes cleaning your battery connections can make a huge difference!
In this video Josh investigates a low voltage issue on a truck with a brand new alternator and finds the culprit right under his nose!!

I got this video recommended to me the MORNING my battery died 😂😂
So while I understand a little about being careful so the wrench doesn't contact the body, no one ever really explains why. If you do this, can it cause permanent damage? How, and how do you diagnose and fix? Also, your comment about the tight connection in relation to oxidation was new to me. How do you prevent it? Some say the connections are super important, but don't tell you how to clean everything and them the big one, prevent it. No one ever really explains these basic things. I've watched so many videos about using a multimeter and testing, now know how to read wiring diagrams, all the basic terms and concepts, but still feel like I am missing something. Thanks for this video.
Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼 your videos are very helpful
Glad you like them!
Yes ! Helpful.
thanks...exactly what i have going on.
It was helpfull! I have a problem with my elantra, charging and not and had a lot of corrosion on post and terminals. Have new terminals will install tomorrow hope clears my problem.Brand new alternator after market and battery.
Yes it was helpful ! ❤
Been in the same predicament and issue here on the mainland (New England).
Great videos! Nice find and fix in this one.
Looks like this is the same truck where you serviced the battery and replaced the alternator in prior videos. When that alternator was tested in the prior video you tested directly on the battery posts, which made it look like the alternator was bad. Maybe the alternator wasn't bad after all? In this video you solved that connection issue at the battery terminal, so do you have second thoughts about previously replacing the alternator?
Good eye! Yes I ended up taking the new alternator out and trying the original and with the cleaned terminal the old one was just fine.
Nice
I have a question! During hot summer days in the middle east the car starts to overheat 108-111C when i use the AC on max even if it is night, but i tried put ac on 1 only! And it did work! 3hrs on a hot day with temp below 95C which is great!..
When it overheats i notice the voltage drops from 13.4 to 12.5..
Is oveaheating related to low voltage?
I have a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan with a brand new alternator but when I disconnect the hot battery terminal it completely dies. I have a MaxiCOM reader that I plugged into it while I was driving it and it gave me 13.7 but when I stop and it's idling and remove the hot wire terminal the car dies completely. What do you think the problem could be?
Figure it out?
Isn’t the red one supposed to always be the first one put on and the last one taken off?
@@TheRoadLessChosenI figured the problem. I had to replace the whole tipem fuse box. It's working fine now but this is the last time I would ever buy a dodge or chrysler.
Oh goodie.....another dirty connection vid.
