If you connect the positive and the negative end of a battery directly with a cable, (1) you'll get dangerously high currents, and (2) the battery will quickly run out of energy. The battery itself might also get damaged, due to the high currents.

How do i know if it is the battery or the alternator?

Remove the Negative (black) battery terminal while the vehicle is running and if the vehicle dies then it's the alternator, if it stays running then it's the battery. Although this method isn't guaranteed it's usually accurate. DO NOT REMOVE THE POSITIVE terminal (red) from the battery while it's running. It could cause a spark and make the battery explode. Another way is to drive to Autozone or Advanced Auto and ask them to test it. They'll do it for free.


How do you reboot a car computer?

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery Leave it disconnected for an hour. (The amount of time it takes to replace the battery). Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This works because a transient (voltage spike, noise) is generated when the terminal is reconnected. This is not necessary when the battery is replaced because the negative terminal is normally the last connected. However, when a car's battery dies in storage for example and is recharged with disconnecting the battery, the car might not start because the computer is not running.
