onelivinlarge Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 well kinda, I've had the stereo in for less than a week. Or at least the sub and the amp. yeah but 240rms should not do that i would take and have your bat tested and hook up a dmm and test to see if u r getting over 13-14volts if not could be the alt but my guess is your bad is shit (no offence ) cuz if its a old bat it cant take the extra draw mine did that and i replaced mine no problems untill my 20year ld alt died Quote 1) lookj to left 2) NOTICE BLKUE 3) ME > Y9OU 4) that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 usually when the dash lights up with a battery, tends to be an alternator charging problem.. at least im fairly certain of it Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderLoK Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 usually when the dash lights up with a battery, tends to be an alternator charging problem.. at least im fairly certain of it With newer GM's that is exactly what the warning is (service charging system).

Skullz Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Since you said you lost power steering i would think the belt popped off or broke as usually the alts will share more than 1 thing with the belt. Start there and work you way through everything else. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moofs Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks guys! So I got it looked at. Maybe you can help me figure this out bc I'm still confused but apparently the alternator pulley is cracked and the belt is really worn out. Think it even snapped when I took it to the carx. Basically they r given me a new alternator (free since it was already replaced) and two new belts and a power steering flush. I still don't get how it happened though he said that it's bc the power steering pump like locked or something. Does this make sense to you guys?

UnderLoK Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's possible, the belt could have been too small too or just a defective pulley.
