Cougar wont start Reply #15 – April 12, 2008, 05:34:43 PM Quote from: cougarXLS;213465I believe it was jcassity that suggested to me that my alternator was producing an output of Direct Current (12V) and AC.... *AC --> Alternating Current He also recommended replacing the battery and alternator as a matched set. Quote from: jcassity;213480id highly suggest replacing the battery and alternator as a matched set and retry. Short of searching through various threads, I guess my memory served me well. Thanks jcassity! BlkCatXR7, if all the grounds are solid, I might consider the wisdom of replacing the battery and alternator simultaneously. If the car will start when boosted, then it's obviously not your starter motor. Quote Selected
