RE: [DML] 3723 Can't Start - HELP

Luis, If the battery light comes on and your above idle speed a little. The
regulator is gone in the alternator. If it's and original then it's time for
an updated one. Don't waste your money trying to rebuild the old one.They
are not worth it.

HI folks - the newbie's in trouble!

Last night I had to move the cars in the driveway around, since it's
been a couple of days since I last drove the D (newbie fever) I
though I'd take her for a quick spin.  As I go a couple of blocks I
notice that the battery indicator light was on - I though the
alternator was gone, so I decied to head back.  I noticed that she
was strugling to stay on - then dead.

I was fortunate that I could pull her into a parking spot in the
middle of town.  I tried a boost from one of my other cars, she
turned on for maybe a minute, but then off again.  I thought that it
maybe the battery, but when I put it on the charge at home it seemed
fine.

I tried again this morning and nothing.  I could hear the relays
going, but there is no attemp to turn over.

She had been starting without a single problem every time I tried
her - the only difference is that we have had a couple day s of rain
her in northern Jersey.  I don't know if this may have anything to do
with it?  I really do need some help, not only in getting it going
but trying to understand what's up!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Luis & 3723
