1997 Oldsmobile Aurora

Problem: Car charges then the alternator fails. Put in a new alternator and in a short period that alternator fails. Next alternator put in is overcharged.

Repair: Check the battery thermistor, which is a sensor that changes resistance value according to battery temperature and feeds the regulator the information(located at the battery). This could cause the problem in the car.

Ignition Switch

Do not rule out an ignition switch as the problem for a no start condition. Numerous calls on no starts do end up being an ignition switch.
