1995 chevy astro that won't start.

Question

We had it idling for approx. 20 minutes. Turned it off to eat and then went to start it about 45 minutes later. Nothing. We thought the battery was dead so someone tried to jump us...nothing. Then thought it might be the starter, pulled it and had it tested....still good. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

it sound like the alternator is gone try a new battery and if it drains that one and wont start its the alternator

Answer 2

you arebetter off taking it to a garage for testing,,or have it towed there.

Answer 3

tow it to a garage, have charging system tested and checked for power drain. have them run a diagnostic on the electrical and you might find a simple fix  and be up and running. There are many things that can cause this a electrical diagnostic will find the problem  fast and let you know exactly where the trouble is. and what part to replace instead of swapping out all the parts and spending  lots of money unnecessarily
