electrical problems with my 1996 buick regal custom
my regal custom for the longest has been having electrical problems i had to constantly charge the battery whenever i wanted 2 go somewhere i changed the battery and it ran fine for a while then it cut off on me while driving and that day we found out it was the alternator that was killing the battery so we changed the alternator and it ran fine for a while after that then suddenly when i stopped driving for a little while i say a week tops my batteries dead again so i took out the lights inside thinking they didn't shut off when i left the car and that worked for about a day

Re: electrical problems with my 1996 buick regal custom
I know it is very basic but have you tried checking your wiring? Such as making sure all of the connections are clean (Shiny silver) and that they are tight enough.

Do you have a mutimeter with a 10 amp (at least) range?

Re: electrical problems with my 1996 buick regal custom
if your talking about the wiring from the battery to the connectors then yeah i have checked it and when i changed the first battery out there was dried acid cake on from the old battery but i cleaned that off when i put in the new battery its a side mount battery and as far as the multimiter your going 2 have to xplain that 2 me because i dont know that much about cars just a little but i guess thats why im here 2 learn
