Well, here's hoping my car is as easy as a tractor. Wife called, said her 99 Suzuki Esteem wouldn't start. She said the radio has been acting up the past few days and today finally wouldn't start. So I went to get her in my car, I suspect alternator so I took my volt meter. The car's lights still worked, and when I tried, it would barely turn over and not start. So....voltage on battery just sitting was 11.6, once I jumped started it, and it was idling it was only around 11.8. When I reved it, it did get up to about 12.7. If this were a tractor, I would say it's not charging, and the genny wasn't working. However, after talking to the guy at the parts store, he suggested it might be the battery. The battery was about 3 years old ( I replaced it), so I figured it would be cheaper to replace then spend the money to have a mechanic tell me it needs a battery. So should a car such as this show more then 12.7 volts if charging? My car, which is a grand marquis shows 14.6 when idling.
