[Cormudgen]

Ok,

earlier today i was workin in my car with my amp. stuipd me, was messing with the connection of the REM wire (remote to turn the amp on) at the amp end with the car on. the other side is into the drivers side fuse box labled "ignition". anyways i try canking my car and it wont, so i look and of course the fuse is burnt. replace it and everything is fine. not to long after this my battery light comes on(right next to where the brake light is when you ebrake is on). i dont konw if its related or not. does this mean that my alternator may not be putting out enough amperage? is my battery dying? what does this dummy light signify?

thanks for any and all help

i'm a firm believer in capacitors, i'm running around 2,000 watts off of stock alternator and yeah the lights dim a little but only at idle. all a capacitor is is storage for juice, it suppliments if the voltage of the system drops. The higher the capacitance the more storage capability ie. 1 farad, 2 farads etc.... as far as your battery light problem if your alternator is fine just get a new battery, just got a new yellow top ultima love it but it's a bit pricey. if you don't want to spend that much just get a good deep cycle battery. and as with everything you get what you pay for.
