Jville140db Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I don't think it's the belt, belt slipping doesn't cause flickering of the vehicles electrical. I agree for sure his problem is deeper than that.

StreetSlappah Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Maybe check the wire goin from your battery into the fuse box and the main engine ground. And how is the voyage before you get flickering? Before anything happened my original pos battery cable went out and my car didn't start up I then ran 0 gauge from pos alt to post batt then it did startcould that be the problem? I recently fuse that 0 gauge too? Thanks for the help guys I'm really appreciating it. Quote Refs-(b.f.) 99vic, WCA Rusty(x3) Nathan@XSPOWER, Ampjunkielikeme, Bread0710, AmiCreations (s.t.)

sprkn_ranger Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 When you say the pos battery cable went out, what do you mean?

StreetSlappah Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) As in the original positive battery cable the one that's connected to terminal of the pos battery I assumed burnt or something because my car didn't start but when I added the extra wire from positive alt to positive battery my car runs and if I were to take the 0 gauge wire off the car will not start. Sorry if it doesn't makes sense it kind of hard to explain.

sprkn_ranger Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Ok, well it sounds like you have a bad connection somewhere. have you replaced the main pos wire? And where does it go? The fuse box?

StreetSlappah Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yea the main pos wire went out and the only thing connecting the pos batt to alt is the wire from the big three Quote Refs-(b.f.) 99vic, WCA Rusty(x3) Nathan@XSPOWER, Ampjunkielikeme, Bread0710, AmiCreations (s.t.)

sprkn_ranger Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Well if the main wire burnt, then you need to replace it, but first find out why it burnt, it may have been rubbing on something and shorted out, and you definitely want to fix that problem before you replace the wire.

sprkn_ranger Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 No prob! And the easiest way to know if it shorted is to pull the wire out and look at it, and if it did short somewhere then it will be black and charred in the area it shorted in. Plus the jacket will be torn exposing the copper wire inside. If the wire looks fine just replace it and see if that works. And also check ALL of your fuses cause they tend to blow when wires short or have bad connections.
