This happened in the morning as I turned on the accessories. Put down the windows and turned on the music without starting the car as usual, but as soon as I did that the power died. Tried to start the car, nothing. Went to pop the hood to check the battery, and tried it again and it started. Haven't had a problem with that since, but I've noticed that my fogs (non-factory) won't turn on at all anymore.
Short in a fuse somewhere? I always have them on, and the HU is constantly on as well, so as soon as the accessories are on they are also on along with everything else. |

 Okay, We off tracked there... the alternator mess was directed at your car not starting/dying. The foggs is a fuse or a relay somewhere, or a ground out of place or a bad wiring connection or worse case, blown bulbs. There is absolutely nothing else it could be unless you've got some strange Martian technology in there. And if that is case... Then I cannot help. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! QUOTE (DEATH @ Nov 11, 2008 - 5:40 PM)  Damn D-Man - most impressive.
