If the ACG(S) fuse is removed the +5 volts or whatever that goes into the field coil is stopped and the alternator can no longer produce power. My guess is that the fuse fell out recently or when you opened the cover. Of course someone could've done a "custom" rewire job and bypassed the fuse, but I doubt it.

that sucks.....today was not a good day....my friend open the door and broke my passenger side door handle...now i can fix up the lil key whole it has....but sigh....it still blows.

Yeah, what is it with these fools? Every time they get in or out, jerk the handle and slam the door. Im always like "the car is almost 20 years old, the doors close perfectly, no need to slam." Christ they've already broken the door handle and the sensor in the latch. Cost me over $100 to fix. No respect for other people's property.

lol i jiggled them hella..

i'm gonna try to push start it tomorrow.. it's all wet and shit outside right now i'd never get any traction on the ground. i did try to get the starter/flywheel to move by rolling back a bit (i'm parked on an incline with the rear facing downhill) but when i put it into gear i stopped rolling

i felt so sad when i was driving away from my baby.. parked all night by herself in a strange lot

The car has to be rolling forward in order for you to be able to push start it. I was in the same position as you. My starter went out and i was parked back end facing down, and I tried pushing the car up the hill and then getting in the car and jump starting it and nothing happened. I hate to get other people to help me roll it forward so i could start it.

On another, your clutch switch (the switch that wont let you start the car unless the clutch is fully depressed) may be bad. I've never really had your problem, but that may be something to look at.

my car never had this...

It probaly had one, but the rubber stopper on the pedal was removed.

Only '89's have this feature. And I believe his car is an '89.

[snoopyloopy]

hmm, well, i get the same problem. at random times, my car refuses to start. the battery, starter, and alternator are all pretty new. but i turn the key, there's no clicking. i tried jumping it and it did no good. usually i end up having to play with the starter, but then it's still 50/50 for whether it'll start or whether it won't. sometimes it'll then start right up, other times it'll keep just clicking but no start then suddenly starts right up.

my girlfrien/fiancee (sp?) is the same way, then she wonders why the door doesn't open form the inside

do your lights dim when you try to start the car with the lights on? mine don't at all

what toneloc said bout the clutch switch thing is something i was thinking about too.. cause it doesn't seem to act any different with the clutch in or out.

unfortunately im not gonna get a chance tonight to try again hopefully tomorrow

Yeah, but why is it always the passenger side that gets broken? It's not like that door gets used the most.

[forrest89sei]

Yeah, but why is it always the passenger side that gets broken? It's not like that door gets used the most.

Because the passengers aren't use to our cars? or there jackasses?

[LX-incredible]

No, because if we were real gentlemen, we would open their doors for them.

I guess the car wasn't going fast enough then (for me, that is). lol.

And I dont know about the 88's, but I remember reading that the clutch feature was added in 89. But if I'm wrong then my bad. I DO know that my friends 87 can be started without having to push the clutch in.

And I can't stand when my friends slam the door when they get out. I actually yell at them (yes i yell at my friends) because its not necessary, and they know this, man! (Chris Tucker from Friday).
