So my sister's 2007 Jeep Cherokee Laredo died, seems all the lights went haywire, it started to smell like something burning so she turned it off. I took a look at it, seems the battery went bad with a bad cell (sucker was pretty darn hot). I replaced it to find the negative battery cable sparked like crazy when I connected it and the alternator was smoking. I disconnected the battery. Looked to be some smoke damage on the alternator and the B+ post cover had completely melted. The cable harness & fusible link was fine although the wire sleeve was melted in places. I have replaced the alternator.
2 questions, could the battery failing cause the alternator to go; or could it be something else like the starter? Apparently the last few weeks the car was starting weirdly and driving odd until it warmed up.
Where can I get a insulating cap for my Jeep Cherokee? I tried the dealer and they wanted to sell me a whole new engine harness.
Buick - Lucerne :: 2007 - Won't Start - Alternator / Battery?
My wife's 2007 Buick Lucerne wouldn't start the other day after sitting maybe 20 minutes with the headlights on. She had to call AAA for a jump start. It starts fine now. I took it to an autoparts store, the battery shows 90% life left. Brought it home, charged in 10 minutes using my car charger. My question is, what could cause the car not to start so easily? I am skeptical the battery was the culprit. How can I check the alternator, etc? Any other thoughts?

Last night, while my wife was driving, the battery light on her instrument panel started flashing. This morning the battery light came back on when she started the car. As she was driving on the highway, the ABS light, the stability light, and couple other lights came on, plus her she was losing power to her wheels. She said it then felt like the car was towing a heavy object and that there was no power going to the wheels or any other part of the car. She was able to drive it a few miles to a parking lot, where it died.
When she tried to restart it, she heard a clicking sound, but had no power and the engine was not turning over. She could not remote lock the doors because the all power was gone.
The tow truck driver tested the car and said the battery is fine, but that the alternator was dead. She had it towed to the dealer, who also says it is the alternator that is the problem.
This all occurred after we had a previous, and resolved issue, to the instrument panel (including the light around the cigarette lighter) and the taillights going out intermittently. The dealer disconnected the electrical connection to the towing package and the lights have stayed on since.
Seems odd to have an alternator go on a two-year old vehicle (we bought it new in Jan 2011). Could it actually be the alternator or something else?

Going to replace motor mounts. Foot on brake and placed in gear engine flexes back about 2". Doesn't seem to flex side to side or forward. Replaced dog bone the metal in the middle of the bushing had a visible crack. Still flexes. I am confused about replacing them. Should I replace all including the 2 rear mounts? This is what I have read in many posts and been told by a trans shop. Can I just replace the front and dog bone? Parts guy told me that was all that I needed to do if it wasn't flexing side to side. These things are expensive 170- ea for oems so if I don't have to replace the rear I won't. However I don't want to trash the new ones cause I didn't replace them all.
View 3 RepliesCamry :: Battery Light Turning On When Car Started
I have a duralast alternator installed in my I4 07 Camry since my OEM died. Unfortunately this was the only alternator I could get my hands on at the time. Recently I had this issue when I would start the car the battery light turns on. I would shut off the car and start it again the light disappears. I made sure all battery related equipment are screwed on tight. Also as I am starting the car the battery light dimly flickers. What could cause these issues. The battery is brand new and alternator is a few months, but autozone tested it and said it is good.

View 3 RepliesFord - Focus :: 2002 - Flashing Battery Light But Not Alternator Or Battery?
2002 Ford Focus SE with 130k miles on it. For the past 4 months the battery light flashes randomly while driving. The flashing and frequency of flashing doesn't seem related to anything I can tell including temperature, length of time the car is running, speed or any variable. Seems like it should be an alternator, but that was replaced less than an year ago and it also has a new battery. The alternator always checks out fine at the mechanic and it will never flash for the mechanic. It went 1 month with no flashing and suddenly it will now flash maybe 20 times in a 5 mile drive. Yesterday it just died at a stoplight with no warning, but then after shutting everything off it started just fine and the battery light didn't turn on for the 2 miles to home.
