When the headlights are turned on, the car will lug or stall altogether, never again to restart without a jump. Can't find a short. Any ideas. way2old Veteran / Moderator Nov 29, 2007, 2:11 PM Post #2 of 4 (3248 views) Re: Headlights drawing too much power Sign In You either have a really bad battery or a really weak alternator or a combination of both. Possibly could be corrosion on the cable connections, both ends. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds p40ace New User Nov 30, 2007, 12:38 PM Post #3 of 4 (3238 views) Re: Headlights drawing too much power Sign In THx I'll give it a try. It will strart up in the morinings however even after sitting as long as I haven't let it stall with the headlights. Do you still maintain that it would be alternator cables or battery or a combo. way2old Veteran / Moderator Nov 30, 2007, 1:52 PM Post #4 of 4 (3236 views) Re: Headlights drawing too much power Sign In As a generic reply to your question, yes, I wouls say it is either in the battery or charging system. Have them checked and let us know the results. To properly diagnose the system takes a little time and knowledge. If you want the basics of the test just let us know and someone will help you.
