[QUOTE="MG0h3, post: 16890246, member: 164690"] Referring back to the question about the alt charging/not charging the battery meaning alt is automatically bad: no. Could easily be a circuit problem (cables between alt/batt or as mentioned, wires on back of alt). Sounds like you’re good to go on the charging front though so that’s good. You either have a massive draw or a circuit/connection problem to the starter is possible as well. When it won’t start is the battery like dead dead as in remote locks won’t work, no dash lights with the key on, or is it just a no crank situation? Don’t want to get too much in the weeds here, but with low load like sitting at idle, you may see the proper charging voltage. Add in some load like lights, brake lights, then roll the windows up, you’ve increased the load or demand on the system. A poor connection can rear it’s head in this situation. Cranking is the highest load you’ll put on the battery and the cables/connections at the battery. But I’m guessing it starts for a day or two and then you’re tits up so the connections are likely fine. I’d def start with that draw test I outlined above.
