Alternator and battery not charging
5 Answers
Did it turn over when you replaced the alternator and battery? If not, check out my favorite part to talk about tonight. Ignition switch pin. NAPA part no. 620-1414 for my 2003 Jeep Liberty. there is a tutorial on Youtube on how to replace it. The part that turns your ignition module is made out of pot metal and breaks. I replaced a starter thinking it was the problem and found out this little gem was my issue. It's in the steering column. takes a kind of small torx driver to get in there. then you have to turn the key into a particular position to remove the ignition, etc, etc. The tutorial was dead on. If your car did start after replacing the alt and battery, this is not likely to be your problem. If you're not getting anything when you turn the key and the key feels different when you turn it, this could be what your problem is providing your battery and alternator were a guess as to why you weren't even getting a click out of it and didn't work.
Another thought as well, That part breaking could have your ignition partially engaged. It's worth looking at. The part wasn't that expensive and wasn't very difficult to replace.
It did start. But something is not letting it charge. The alternator and battery is not charging.
Check all of the connections to your battery as well as where your battery ties to the body for ground. It's either a bad connection or a wiring harness problem, but I would lean towards a bad connection.

Check the fusible link. Green wire at end of red charging wire from the alternator soldered together with black heat sleeve over it. it will run to the bolted connection on engine compartment fuse box. This will be attached with a red wire coming off of the battery. This green fusible link is 10 gauge and may say "fusible link 10 gauge on it" Look for coating blow out and weakness in wire. This will cause no gharge from a good alt to a good battery.
