00sdime00 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 "if" everything is hooked up right....I dunno bro. Could be the alt. What about above idle? are you using a DMM to make your voltage measurements? Quote A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.

ChevyBoy Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 above idle is the same. my buddy was watching my fluke, and my battery light is on. this is getting really aggravating now. i hate pullin the alt out of this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 so i checked it again today with the stereo turned up......nothing. so i took it up and took it up to advance auto parts and tested it. it puts out voltage. i went to autozone to get a second opinion.....fuck them people. i hate that place and they kept dicking me around. so im gonna take it up to the alternator place tomorrow and see if they can test it for me. i believe its just one of the harnesses.....atleast thats all i hope it is.

ChevyBoy Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 i have no idea. it was supposed to be a direct bolt in, so i wouldnt think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Did you put this problem up in their forum? Keeping their problems in their own section may help you get a faster answer. I know I don't have time to review all topics and sections for MLA and wish I did. So maybe hit them up there i'm sure they can check it more often. If you still have issues , talk to Robbie @ DC powerinc. Needing something to excite an alt doesn't sound like what he ordered for his car. He wanted a plug in direct bolt on alt without having to modify things. MLA Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

Bass4Lyfe Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 additoin: Replace with a 10 or 15 amp (10 is safer) fuse and you should be good to go, let me know if this was the problem Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
