electrical problem with car?

Question

My car has no electrical power. no radio, interior lights, and does not even try to start (crank). no power of any kind. I jump started it and went to get gas. I was able to turn off the car at maybe two places, then start it and return home. The next morning it has zero power again. I had the battery checked and it is fine. I put the battery back in the car and not even lights or any electrical power comes on. Before I assume that the movie "Signs" or War of the Worlds is true, can someone help me?

Answer 1

All connections to the battery must be clean and dry. You need to use a battery terminal brush to clean the cable ends and the battery posts. If the battery is truly good, than you either are not getting electricity back into the battery due to faulty connections or the alternator is not producing enough power to charge the battery. Most auto stores will connect a tester to determine what is wrong with the system. Get it down to a reputable store and find out what the real problem is........

Sounds like you have a power drain. Something is still on or drain the battery power after you trun off the car. Take you car to an auto service and have them check for you.

Check the main electrical bus in the engine compartment and under the dash where-ever you see a connection, make sure the connectors are fully seated.

You have poor connection at your battery. You stated by jump starting your car, it will start. Clean terminal so they are shiny grey - no black or dark gray deposits. Apply some grease to the terminals to prevent future corrosion.
