Car cutting out when jump leads pulled off


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I have completed an engine swap on my glanza... it had been running fine then clumsy me dropped a socket on the positive battery stud. It sparked and the car spluttered. 

 

The car drove after that then it died. It starts with jump leads attached and will run unless they are on. I have changed the alternator and also the alternator fuse but still no joy... if someone could leave me some advice it's be great. 

 

Thanks 

Will.

Even with the battery disconnected the car will still run once started sounds like alternator is dead. Check charge rate while running with no load 14v on load (lights heater rear screen) 13.5v.
