So if you boost your car and the battery is good, but your car doesn’t start over after a few attempts, then you might have a problem with the ignition switch. You can try to narrow down the cause of your issue by turning on your headlights.

6. bad alternator

a bad alternator will cause the battery to take up some load. this will happen over a period of time till the cat won’t start. the weaker the alternator the more it depends on the battery. it won’t charge the battery efficiently. finally, the battery is dead. at this point, both the battery and the alternator need to be tested.

• a good alternator charging voltage is 14.2 Volts
• Battery voltage when off should be 12.6 Volts
