Posted August 29, 200420 yr comment_93172 after my car got left out in the rain for the 1st time (seriously) the car wouldnt start so i got out and noticed that the covers for my fusable links were letting alot of water in, so i replaced them with the ones out of a friends datsun,jumped it and drove it homenowsometimes if i have any electrical stuff on, i.e. lights, turn signal, dash lights, and i slow down the car will just die.. i loose tach,the door open alarm goes off and my fasten seatbelts light turns on and i just coast.. most of the time i can just let off the clutch and it will pop back on. my volt gauge shows about 13 volts most of the time but it noticably goes down w. each electrical thing turned on.. it also bounces up and down as i rev the engine while stopped... any ideas.. im going right now to get the battery tested and tom. i am taking the alternator out and going to try that..

Lots of them offer free testing of your alternator and associated gear.

August 30, 200420 yr comment_93273 look for a bad ground and or corroded connections . If this started right after the fusable link problem , look there first. Take a good look at the battery connectons as well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/13052-electrical-problems/#findComment-93273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
