Hotdog Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 damn that sucks hope you get everything resolved. DC Power makes good equipment though, but every manufacture has some sort of failure rate. Do you have an inline fuse from alt to battery? Did you check your connection?

Robert8252 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yeah. All that stuff has been checked. Fused about 24"s from alt which is about 8"s from the battery. Grounds are good. No corrosion. Wires are all tight. Once I get the battery charged I'll try one last time and see then call DC. 95% sure it has to be the alternator. Didn't do anything yesterday to drain the battery.

stefanhinote Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Doing that now. It must have quit working on my drive home and I didn't hear it. Battery always sits at 12.6-8 usually. On the charger now but it's low so it will be a while. Have you checked all your wiring for the alt? Does yours plug directly into stock wiring or requires that it be grounded and wired to a switched 12v? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Did you try revving the engine up to see a change? Mine has been doing similar andi need to rev to get it to jump back up voltage wise Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Robert8252 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well fuck scratch that. Fuse is blown. Too reflective to notice last night I guess. Also have stock wire with "stock mega fuse 175amp" but there is no way to tell if it is blown. Once battery is charge I'll try again with a new fuse. If it works then good for the alt atleast but now I won't know why the hell it blew.

Robert8252 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Alight. Think this one is correct. Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Here's some pictures I never posted in my build. These are the pics DC sent me and told me to do. My alt looks just like that now and also I had to grind on part of my engine you can see in the picture for proper fitment. I don't think there is anything wrong with it how it turned out and didn't mind doing it but could this cause the issue? Again. Alternator has been in and running fine for 1-2 months. Yesterday was the hottest day this year so far at about 85-90 degrees.
