    Eagle Talon, keeps killing Alternator & Battery

    I had a 1991 Eagle Talon, I sold to a Co-Worker, (big mistake) anyway,
    when I bought the car it needed an alternator and a battery, so I
    changed them out, well my co-worker has called me twice now and said
    that the alternator and battery were bad again, so I exchanged them
    and replaced it, now she tells me they are bad again, she took it to a
    dealer, she also said the seat belts have stopped working. It sounds
    like an electrical problem to me, but I don’t know, has anyone had
    this problem and if so what was done to rectify the problem? PLEASE
    HELP

    The seat belt circuit is always hot, e.g. belt will retract from simply
    opening a door, so that would definitely be a place to look. Perhaps
    one of the belts is stuck midway in a track causing a breaker to cycle
    on & off, eventually kiiling the battery. Conversely, if the battery is
    completely dead for any reason, the seatbelts won't retract.

    Has somebody checked the "sense" lead in the battery/alternator circuit,
    for opens.
    Mitsubishi alternators have an input lead marked as "S". this monitors
    the battery voltage for the regulator (in the alternator).
    If the "S" input "sees" a fully charged battery, it turns off the
    alternator output, if it sees a lower voltage than 13.8 volts it turns
    on the alternator so as to charge the battery. If this wire is open or
    has a corroded connector on it the battery voltage will be read as less
    than 13.8 volts, and the alternator will turn on, thus over charging,
    and eventually killing the battery.
