Toyota Repair: 1996 Toyota Camry, toyota camry, charging system


Question
QUESTION: This is a follow-up I couldn't do on the last page but, the car won't even start at all. That's why it leads me to the alternator because they tested my battery and said it was ok. I took it off and I'm suppose to go get it tested tomorrow.

ANSWER: Ok, yes have the alternator tested and let me know.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: Ok so, the alternator passed the test. I actually replaced the starter and it still won't start and now I'm being told it's the battery. Any advice?

Answer
This is the reason I asked that you have the alternator tested in the car with the engine running, bech testing is not very reliable, the charging system and the battery can be tested using a charging system tester, it may very well need a battery, it depends, did they test it or are they just guessing, you said before that they tested the battery and is was ok, so either it's ok or it's not, not that difficult to determine, maybe you should have another repair shop look at this.
