The engine would start and run even if the alternator belt were missing if the battery is charged up and there is no other problem.
Hi , Well the headlights weren't totally off but they were really dim. The inside light was almost as bright as normal. My battery is not quite a year old and when i got home i connected it to the battery charger and its been keeping its cherge since. We jumped it that night with no problem, as soon as we removed the cables the power instantly started dwindling until it cut off (maybe 3 minutes). The belt moves, there is no clicking, I practically polised the battery cable connections and i've checked the cables. Check all the fuses? Where are the relays located? The battery just seems to be slowly sucked dry. I appreciate your time.
