Engine won't start
Hi to all,
I have a toyota 2008 yaris, battery is 3 mos old and after 3 to 4 engine start and drives around with A/C on and lights on, it losses power and it won't crank up the engine. I know the alternator is working as I disconnect one battery pole connection and it still runs. It seems as if its not charging via alternator. can anyone help me out here, I am kinda lost with this one. |

Check the output of the alternator with a meter.
If you don't have a meter most big box stores will check it for no charge. Norton |

Check the large fuses on the positive battery terminal the one between the alternator and battery may be popped.

also we did that while in the battery dealer, the fuses are intact and the meter shows continuity. Is the charging system has any connection to the computer module? |

The battery dealer may have checked the fuses in the fuse box, but not the ones on the positive terminal. Those are built into the plastic assembly, so you can't easily check for continuity.
