I may have a bad alternator, how should I determine if it is this or bad electrical? Someone told me to jump the car remove the battery and if it stays started then it's not the alternator. If this is a safe and effective way of determining then my question is how do I safely remove the battery connections? Should I loosen them before starting?
History: The car wont start without a jump, it will hold the charge but once I turn it off it wont start again.
thanks
