Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Battery wont get a charge?, buick park ave, exact diagnosis


Question
I have a 1991 Buick Park AVE and i am having problems with my power. I have bought a new battery,alternater,new battery cables,and had my harmonic balancer replaced. When i bought the battery the car was running great and then i didn't drive a day and went to get in and i had no power.So i jumped it and ran it for like a hour and turned it off. I came out like 4 hours later and dead again. Can you give me some ideas what to check and how please!!!!

Answer
You going to have to have a VOLT/AMP METER put on the vehicle to make an exact diagnosis.

You could have a faulty alternator and or something is draining the battery such as the inetrior lights are staying ON at night or the trunk light or numerous other components.

Usually any large auto parts store such as autozone will gladly test your system for free.
