Hi all

As soon as I started the car, andputit inand drive my '93 940 power died. The battery is only a month old and i wasn't losing any power before that. I checked the cables everything is fine. I tried boosting and as soon as you take the jumper cables off the car shuts off and zero power. After the battery where does the power go and convert?

 

Alternator is most likely bad.

 

I JUST had the same problem on my 1993 940. I had a bad alternator. Good news itis very easily installed yourself. Bad news a good unit will cost $300-$400 depending on your source. My advise is purchase the unit from a local shop and not a parts store (Autozone, etc) as they sometimes do not actually push the 100 amps needed on our cars. Hope this helps and good luck
