Argh! Dumb Electrical Problem Still! help..

niudlezz · Apr 23, 2002

OK, well I posted my problem a few days ago, but I still can't get it cleared out. So far, I bought a new battery and switched my alternator twice! The problem is my alternator doesn't seem like its charging and its taking all the energy from the battery till my car dies out. I already tried changing alternator fuse and my relay still looks good, yet its still draining the battery! I also cleaned out some of the dirty grounds.

I called mitsubishi and they told me it would cost me $125 just to diagnostic test! GOD DAMMIT!

Anyone else have a clue of what it could be? My car has been on the lot for a week now ...

You should proalby take your car to a shop that deals with electical proablems, we have one in our town that just sells battires and alternators. It's proably just some bad wires or somthing like that, bust out a DMM, and start checking the conitunity of all the wires going to and from the alt.
