Newbie first post, got a problem with my mothers car.
Been a long time since i worked on car's (teen's early 20's) especially electrical system.
Basically here it is: after running one day the car wouldn't start right after it was turned off.
As the key is turned it will seem to be getting voltage on the first and second stop, on three it just dim's out and won't turn over. It will jump start,
the batt is 12 V (although I think it should be about 14V if memory serves)
I thought alt, batt, or starter, maybe wiring but was hoping I could get a few
easy diagnostic tip's, and may a online source for the wiring layout.
Neat site! I have kinda missed wrenching but it look's like it was easier in my day! thanks all. VDG
