Hey, the other day I got a flat battery. I called NRMA to come and jump start me. The guy only bought a jumper pack not a vehicle with jumper leads. My car would jump straight away but turn off a few seconds later, he told me it was either my battery or my alternator. That night a mate came and jumpstarted me off his ute and it ran fine without turning off and worked fine until today, when as I was driving my car would jerk when I touched my lights in anyway. I had to drive for 100kms on low beams lol... About 60 kms in to the drive I had to indicate around a corner and the car lost all power. I turned off my lights and stereo and phone charger and it turned on. I put my lights on and it turned off again. I eventually got it to start and stay on with the lights on and drove it home (without high beams and indicators). In my drive way I decided to mess around and see if it would turn off if I put highs on and it didnt until I took them off and it died instantly..
When I had the flat battery, before my mate jumped it he checked my alternator and said it was giving out 14 volts or something like that and all he did before trying to jump it was change my starter relay over to my high beams relay if that makes any difference.
Now Im trying to work out whats actually wrong with it?
