Well my car is sitting by my girlfriends house. For some time now I been driving with a bad alternator, I know that because whenever i turn the headliights on, the chrage light is kinda on, and when I turn on the radio, its kinda on then off for a second, then back to just kinda on. Couple days ago I was leaving her house and when tried to start u can hear it turn over couple times and thats it. For 5 minutes the whole car has no power. Its not the battery, tats fine, its the alternator. Hopefully today ima go to A-reliable and get one for about 50 buks.

BTW, couple days ago I just got enrolled at the Devry University, getting a bachelors degree in computer and electronics technology. :D

Well couple days ago as u all know my car got screwed up. Unno what, but it owudnt run. Changed the alternator, which was screwed up and i thought was the whole problem, but after replacing it still no luk. SO we tried to jump start it, when we put the cables on positive and ground, no sparks, which was a little strange, but still no luck. So today when I was laying in bed wit ma gf i was thinkin. No sparks, no connection. So before she dropped me off home, i told her ima go by my car for a second. Checked the connection, sure enough, ground is loose!. Had no tools so i just kinda "jiggled" it a little, and the car started no problem. And the new alternator is workin great, I can have the lights on, the a/c, and the radio without the charge light lighting up.
