Power Problem!

frostburn · 12-20-2010, 11:41 PM

Hey, I have an 89 turbo and for some reason when i was trying to turn over my car (it always takes a few times to start in the cold) I lost all power, So i automatically thought it was the 100Amp ALT fuse under the hood so i went to canadian tire and got a new one i replaced it and the interior likes worked i tried to crank over the car it made a noice like trying to start the ignition while it was already turned over for a split second and then all power died again. So i was thinking it may have blown that fuse again and i got another new one and replaced it again and their is still no power. Help please? P.S The battery is less than a year old was never over powering anything and no lights where ever left on. Thanks.

Check the alt. If it's bad and it's not recharging the battery and maybe the last time u drove it. It was running off the battery and killed it check volts of battery too if it's lower then 10 volts the car won't start I think

well thats the thing... when i changed the fuse the first time it gave me interior power and it was strong before i tried to crank it over i checked the over head lights the head lights and all the beep was strong and the battery is fairly new... and when i tried to turn it over it made the ignition noise... so i know it was trying to turn before everything died. and if its the alt than why did i have full power back from a simple fuse if the battery was ran dry from running no alt?.

Even i got an 1989 Toyota Supra with turbo engine, which has started making noise. pretty annoying and hard to find. Sounds like a steering pump. Please help me to narrow it down.
