long story short, aftermarket amp wire protective coating rubbed through to bare wire, killed old alt, replaced too late to save battery (less than 1 yr old new) and blew several fuses at the same time. cascade effect failure, started at amp, killed amp and alternator, which in turn killed battery. bad alt meant more draw on batt, once alt was replaced, bad batt overtaxed new alt... now working on a non start issue dealing with either ignition (known to go bad) or alarm wiring. |
