My bug didn't start yesterday,but it made a sound of grinding teeth gears and relays, I believed the starter didn't have enough power, then at some point didn't make a sound at all. I thought battery was dead, and now I think it just needs to be recharged because today I tried another battery, it started fine but after several minutes I decide to turn off the engine and start again but I got the same issue, now I think both batteries are out of power but fine. The curious thing is while engine running, you can unplug the battery and the engine keeps working, it looks like the alternator didn't have enough power to charge the battery back, some of you may think is the alternator, by the way I already check the tighness of the belt. Is there any chance the problem is the regulator? if so, how can I diagnose this?. Or maybe the cable that goes back to the battery?. And if you know how; how can I detect a bad ground?. Thanks
