Default What the F@$^%& is wrong with my car?
My battery died, I jumped it and noticed ALOT of corrosion, so much the positive terminal was soaking wet with acid. I went to advance and bought a new battery. The next day I didnt drive the car. The 3rd day I went to leave and the car would not turn over. It tried turning over but would not start. It is making a high pitched whine from the alternator (from what I can tell) even after you stop turning it over it wheezes and whinds down. I tried seeing if it needed a jump and there was acid coming out of the positive terminal, again it was soaking wet. It would not jump start at all. I took the new battery back to advance, it tested bad at 1 day old so bought a $200 optima battery brought it home and it is still doing the same thing. I assumed its the alternator along with a few others who say the same. One guy is telling me that dosent make sense and that if the pulley is turning then its probably just flooded. I never heard this kind of sound from a flooding. Could it be a fault in my positive terminal? The fuse going to it is fine but why would it be sucking acid out of the battery? Im at a loss!! Im praying it is the alternator since I have a new one on the way. Maybe the starter but I doubt it because of the sound its making.
