crunkjuice1 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) I had a bad alt a few times but even with a DMM I still saw 13.8v at battery terminals. The best thing to do is pop it off and get it tested at advance or autozone. I was told that if I had kept on using it like that I could F up my batteries and other things. So its good to catch that as soon as possible, might not be that but cover all your bases. Edited March 6, 2011 by crunkjuice1 Quote

Yea bro I know what you guys mean... I just came home (club was ghey) and took off pos from batt for a couple of minutes and I drove it for two blocks, system and stereo still off, and it didn't shut off or anything it was running fine. So I'm guessing my electrical and evryrhing was just putiing too much strain? I'm so confused I want to wire up my subs again but I don't want to be stranded somewhere!

StreetSlappah Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Posted March 6, 2011 Wondering if a bigger alt would help the problem?
