If I Switch On My Golf 3, And I Switch On My Cartape, The Car Will Go Off by excel111(m): 3:29pm On Jan 03, 2019
If i switch on My golf 3, and i switch on my cartape, it will off the car...why? Even, if I switch on the head lamp, it will go off too..and I make sure I tight both positive and negative of my battery very well. The car might not start until I allow it to rest.
I bought new battery, the problem still persist

Oga, your engine don kaput. Na to buy another one.







Jk, you probably have a wiring issue. Get an electrician to check it out, something may be shorting.
[s]Also sounds an awful lot like what one would experience on a flooded car. [/s]

Try this... turn on ur car, then remove negative battery cable... if the car dies then ur alternator isnt charging the battery well enough.... ur alternators produce AC volts that is converted to DC volts by 6 diodes if those diodes are bad then ur alt will produce more Ac volts and less DC which wont be enough to power the car elecs... so u will ve a case of not enough charge...

Another thing that can cause this is a loose belt, where the belt isnt transferring enough power to the alt pulley to spin the rotor fast enough so u ve low output too...

My advice.. check the belt first, it should be tight, firm and straight across all pulleys... check the belt tensioner... a weak tensioner can cause the belt bounce as it spins..

Get a voltmeter.. while the engine is running chevk the battery volts.. u shud ve btw 13V-15V... anything less or more is too little or too much

If these two things are ok then u ve bad wiring problem where one item turns on another(short circuit) and causes an amps overload but that should blow a fuse unless kamoru has replaced ur fuse with thick copper wire..

Las las ur problem is within those 3 places... dont get scammed into buying new batt.. the pry job of car battery is to crank engine after that alternator takes over.. if ur batt can start the engine the battery is good
