Charging problems on my 80 Futura

[Anonymous]

I can't get the stinking thing to charge the battery!!! I had the alternator checked and it shows the proper voltage. The regulator has been changed aswell but still no joy in Mudsville. What am I doing wrong here? Is there a guru of the charging system out there to help?

If the charging system is working but the battery won't hold the charge it could be as simple as a short in the battery. Have it tested. You may need to replace.

Check the battery's earth and any conected accessories e.g. amp meter for faults.

You haven't got your guru yet but these are problems I've encounted over the years.

Might check the negative ground cable . Mine was doing that and I thought cable was OK cause ends were good but inside the cable was shot.

8) check the terminal connections, and the cables. if they are ok check for a drain on the battery. if there is none, then test the battery.
