Electrical Issue

[Hurricane87]

The car keeps dying. Have replaced the battery three times and the alternator once. Still died. I've been told it's the fusible link, but also that it's not. Any ideas?

Fusible links dont fix themselves, they burn out and have to be replaced.
Why are you replacing battery and alternator, did you test them before replacing?
What do you mean by dying?
The engine cranks but wont start or you have no crank, no lights, nothing?

 

[Hurricane87]

I never said it fixed itself, I said that apparently, it was never bad.

Batteries all tested bad. So did the alternator.

No crank, no lights, nothing.

Did you test the battery with a voltmeter?

Yes, three of them were bad.

 

[melsg5]

Have you had the battery that is currently in the car load tested?
Can you jump start the car with a set of cables?
If you can, what is the voltage reading with the engine running?

 

[Hurricane87]

The current battery passes a load test. It is currently possible to jump start the car, but hasn't in the past. The voltage runs 13.7-14.1.

Have you tested for parasitic drain?
