How do you tell if the alternator or battery is keeping a vehicle from running w/o a voltmeter? can you?

I am a welder/mechanic and I haven't touched all my tools to a newborn job, like a multimeter. A diminutive senior forklift, no ecm, would not start so I clean the dirty! terminals, grounds, connections to official and solenoid they were unitedly , nothing. So I place a non-LED effort reddened on the battery, it was dim. Then I proven the starter's ground and the solenoid's positive, same light. Then I pulled the accommodate from the solenoid and patterned it with the effort light, when I impact the kindling alter it glowed dim, like the other tests. Having no another test tools, I pulled up the shop's service pushcart and jumpered it off, and it started, I ran it for most 15 transactions on the jumpers and went to vantage the cables, and the forklift shut soured at once the was off. So I started it back up, waited a little and pulled the perverse off first, and it ease shut off immediately.
I'm forward that the shelling would stop no calculate whatsover all the cells were full, though . and that the f/l depended on the shop truck, but for battery or alternator? The boss said we'll mend it tomorrow. I intellection that I should have patterned the batt emf if I could have, tried to charge the battery alone, unconnected, if needed, then put it in and checked charging voltage of the f/ls alternator. We had another batteries that were new but a assorted style connection post and size, same voltage, but not practical to switch over just for a test.. Please advise. If they communicate tomorrow, I'd like to tell them It seemed as though the forklift acted fine with the trucks system, but if it had that battery would the alt. ready it charged?

Could this be my alternator or something else?

Now if I go to place my window downbound the lights will also come on and then go off. When I go place my automobile in intend the lights module also become on and go off. Also sometimes my Brake light will become on with the other two, but it doesn't stay on. Now when the Trac and ABS light are on, the functions are not working, of instruction I tested.

Question #10:

I feel defeated. Impossible car problem. No one knows the answer. HELP!?

2002 Ford Mustang, V6, Base, 3.8L, 150,000miles

Everything I try on this car doesn't work. I've clean MAF, throttle body, IAC, EGR, replaced hoses, checked for leaks, replaced alternator, no analyse engine light, took to an exhaust place said cats were fine, kindling coil readings fine, render gauge employed fine, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, meet finished so such to this car. Yes the check engine light works, was on due to a bad EGR tube and absent PDFE sensor. I immobile that, reddened gone. I hit changed spark plugs, wires, and done lawful fix on it oil, FUEL FILTER, expose filter, etc. .

It jerks and hesitates, stumbles and loses rpm when it's movement indolent in my yard, obstructed at a flushed light, and occasionally when I'm dynamical it. I had a opinion it was my alternator, so I disconnected the power cloth to it. It worked perfectly. I ordered a new one, place it on there, and it's ease doing the aforementioned thing. Pulley system and serpentine belt have been denaturized bum pulley, machine tensioner .

NO ONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT! It ease jerks, idle changes in sound as it stumbles. Guys at Advanced Auto Parts said the alternator was making a loud whining noise, but it's sort new. It tested fine.

Why is it still jerking/hesitating? RPM dip down, raise right backwards up. Engine is very strong. Ran seafoam finished it, beatific fuel, fuel injector cleaners... I don't see anything wrong with the electrical wiring coming from the alternator.

Please, meet help me. I don't undergo what else to do. I feel defeated. Heck, I'll even PayPal someone whatever cash if they encounter out what the difficulty is for me. I just can't amount it out!!
