Did that and its still killing my battery while im driving

I didnt have this problem untill I swapped in the new motor or I found out y my top windows and windshield wipers wouldnd work was cause my wiper motor fuse was blown and I replaced it.. I couldnt honestly tell you if it started right b4 i swapped the motor or after i replaced the fuse cause I only drove it once b4 i changed the fuse out

So what im thinking, is there a way to test were the fuse goes in for the wiper motor to see if its drawing some crazy amount of power and can i do this while the car is running

bad alternator

I think its time you had the whole electrical system checked out, so you'll need to pay the diagnostic fees. Something that sounds like a massive short is killing the electrical system, and it sounds like it goes back to the motor install - something was probably hooked up incorrectly.

You really think you had that many bad alternators? I can almost say for certain your alternator is not the problem based on your history.

How about checking the filed voltage that powers the alternator. Without it, the ALT will never work.

Stop destroying batteries. Before you drive the car, put a volt meter on it and see if its charging. Once a battery is run down, even a brand new one, the reserve is shot. It will never hold a charge like it did when new. Thats a fact.

This isn't going to get fixed unless you have a wiring diagram, a volt meter and know how to read and use both.

i got a voltage meter and know how to use it.. wiring diagram ive got but using it on the other hand I can not make heads or tales out of it.

I stopped putting new batteries in and just been charging it back up, had to throw a new one in last night cause I was coming home from work and the battery died and had no choice..

I dont think ive had that many bad alt's

Now that im thinking back more about this the first time the battery died on me while I was driving was when I was going to get a new set of tires installed and the last work I did on the car was install a test pipe, ever since then ive got a check engine light wich is normal but I pulled the code and it says p0141 secondary heated oxygen sensor, You think while im driving the ecu is still tring to push volts to it to get it to warm up?

I drive 24miles a day one way to work.. First day after new alt made it there ( Day ) made it back home ( Night ) went back to work yesterday ( Day ) and battery died on me on the way home ( Night )

Check your acg fuse under the dash

Billman250

you can get all kinds of false codes with faulty charging system.

Checkj the fuses, and field voltage.
