84 Bronco Problem..

[jeffmaxwell]

Alright, I was driving the other day and I pulled a U-Turn and my car died. Someone stopped to help me and jumping my car got it rolling again.

When I got home I turned off my car and attempted to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn, it acted as if it were completely dead right after I turned the key (beforehand everything is powered). So I took the battery out and got it tested and it's a good battery. I put it back in the car and low and behold my car starts. I instantly drove the car to AutoZone and had the alternator tested, with good results.

Well, now it's doing it again. I don't know what the problem is...and I'm going to the Lake at 6. Anyone know what the issue could be?

The car-



Thanks in advance!

i experienced a very similar problem. i took the pos and neg terminals off my battery and dis-assembled them and scrubbed them (like a madman) with a wire brush. while the terminals were off the wires, i also scrubbed the ends of the bare wires with the wire brush as well -- the wires probably needed it the most. then re-assembled everything. that did the trick for me.

Sounds like you have a bad connection. Do as Wolf says and you should be good to go...
