so yesterday on my way home from work, my battery light went on.
just a little while longer my headlights went off as I felt my car losing power.
eventually my car died and had it towed to my house.

this morning I decided to look into it and noticed a burning smell from the alternator.
so I disconnected it and found this :






I took the alternator to test and its fine.

I bought a new battery and still no juice. seems like I might have a short somewhere but I don't know where to start ..

any ideas ?

thanks .

When they tested the alternator did they only test that it output power or what it output as well? If there was a burning smell it could've been the internal voltage regulator.
