Default trans am power loss problems

I've had it! I have swapped the alternator and battery twice on my trans am! And still battery does not charge! I don't kno what to do anymore! Tonight I realized that my e fans kick in full force soon as my car turns on. Could the e fans be set up incorrectly? Idk help please!!!!

If you search this site, you'll find lots of good information on charging and battery cable issues.

Is your A/C on when you start the car? If so the fans will immediately turn on, And as stated above a quick search can help you find out what is wrong. Possibly bad cables, or a ground issue.

Sounds like maybe the coolant temp sensor could've been bad.
