Re: Mystery charging system issue 444-544 64

/// I am not familiar with your car. The only thing I can suggest is a defective battery cable. Try to check the cables without moving them or the battery.

Use your jumper cables to bypass the negative cable, bypass the positive cable with heavy wire once the car is running. Do this carefully.

If this is the trouble it may check ok cold. It may only act up just after starting and the heavy starter current warms it up. Moving the battery post clamp may heal the joint temporarily.

The last case would be a battery with an intermittint joint inside the battery. This can be checked by jumping a known good battery to the system, while the car is running with this symptom.
