[QUOTE="Captain420, post: 981257, member: 13454"] Well my charging system actually failed the Advance Auto test, when the battery light was on, which meant the charging system wasn't working properly. The Contour should be charging the alternator at 14.4 volts not 12.3 volts, so that's how I know that. The battery has been going bad for multiple months, which is why I bought the battery first. I'm not throwing any parts at it and I'm not sure exactly what the last sentence means but I am by NO means throwing parts at it, unless that's what you're suggesting the only other part I can try is alternator without trying a fuse or ground wire. Either way, I don't want to have to replace the alternator if I don't have to, but it's looking like that's what needs to happen. [/QUOTE]
