Hi there, i went for the first proper drive in the Sportrak yesterday, drove about 40 miles and stopped off..... and then drove another 40 miles back home, got to my friends house to drop her off, turned it off, and it wouldnt re-start ???
Volt meter was over half way, lights were working, but it wouldnt turn over, just try to start, Anyways got it bump started, drove to my friends house to drop him off, tried the wipers... Very slow, got to my house, turned it off, tried to start, and nothing.Alternator belt seems to be fine, connections to the battery seem to be ok... I swapped the battery over and it starts first time again, also the inside light isnt working anymore?? where is the fuse located for this ??
Any ideas ???
Fuses
1. In-line fuses by the battery.
2. Behind drivers foot peddle. Two fuse boxes - lights probably in labelled 'dome' fuse box.. Take care removing the fuses .. use the tool kept in the fuse box.
3. Sounds like you had a dying battery.
Hi there pal, its an 89' Spor

In-Line
In-line are beside the 12V battery. Look between the battery and the car body. Fuses are within a case fitted into the wire loom. There are cables taped together and an in-line fuse, clearly visible, wired into each.

The cable from the battery passing under the manifold goes to the alternator.
In-line fuses [earlier posts] adjacent the battery on your vehicle might not exist.

Your battery needs testing - might need replacing. If the battery is OK suspect the alternator is failing.
How olds the battery? 3-5
How olds the battery?
3-5 years is the life expectancy as a general rule of thumb!
Put some jump leads on - does the volt meter increase once started? If so alternater probably ok. Treat the old girl to a new battery!
