Anyone know anything about cars out there??
Its a 92 . Recently while driving the sputtered out. When I tried to start the car there was no power. Seemed like the battery had died. I realized that it was more likely to be the since it cut out while driving. Got a rebuilt alternator put it in, boosted the car, drove a short distance and it died again. Took the alternator out and got it tested ,and it tested good. Thought maybe we had a bad connection re-installed the alternator and attempted it again. Car died out once again.
The night before the car died my radio blew a fuse in the car. I took the fuse out and replaced it when we put the new alternator in the first time. It blew the fuse again within about 10 minutes. Thats when I took the alternator out and had it tested.
Any ideas? Seems like it must be a short somewhere, but if the fuse for the radio is out would it still be a problem.
I should also note that my friend who installed the alternator, did not have the proper connector for wire for the alternator output stud. He just stripped the wire and tightened the bolt down claiming it would be fine until I got the proper connector.
Well thats the info hopefully someone out there can help me.
