Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage. A healthy battery should read around 12.6 volts.
A bad battery can cause a bunch of symptoms and lead you in the wrong direction.
2. Inspect Connections:
Check the battery terminals, connections to the fuse box, and any other relevant wiring for corrosion or damage. Bar wiring can cause issues with recharging your battery and increased voltage needs to keep your car going.
3. Test for Parasitic Drain:
Use a multimeter to measure the current draw with the car off. A normal reading is typically less than 50 milliamps.
4. Check the Alternator:
If the battery is draining, have the alternator checked to ensure it's charging properly.
5. Inspect switches:
If the dash lights aren't working, check the ignition switch for any issues. Then check for any compartment that opens and closes, doors, glove box, hood, trunk/rear compartment. If these are messing with you... it will cause the battery to drain, without you knowing.
