Alternator went out, burnt some wires. Got fresh wires soldered in to replace the burnt ones.
Now the car is in good and running order, nothing inside seems sluggish. I had everything I could on while driving 10 mile trip to and from. E lights, rear defrost, wipers, radio full blast, heat full blast. The car made it without no issues. No corrosion at battery. Charged the battery before putting in, but battery was good previously. I also tried a different good working battery. (light still on) Battery cable ends are tight. All the negative cable, and grounds are tight on both ends. Alternator belt is secure and tight, but not too tight. All the connections on the alternator are secure. Brand new alternator. Please help. I'm stumped.

So got it tested... everything is fine.
Some friends said that it could be that I need a tune up? Spark plugs, wires, cap, etc. Could it just be that I need a tune up? But battery light was never on before the alternator swap. |
