tou fong or something. great guy, elder but still awesome. He saw me on the road at Maryland and 35E towed me home to Arden Hills. A tow like that would be $350, but he charged me $50 bucks. He likes helping out hmong peeps too. |

Got everything checked out from Checkers. Everything was fine.
Last night my sis bought me a new battery for xmas. Talked to the guy at oreilly about it, he was stumped and wanted to see my car tonight. I'll see what he comes up with. Could I have burn some wires further up the wire leading to the gauge cluster? Also the light was still on after the new battery. Took the negative and positive off for 5-6 hours and had them back on but the light never goes away. I checked the 100A alt fuse, looks good but that was at night, haha I'll re check the amp after work. I'll do what you said tonight. ---------------------------------------------- I'll have to look for his card Remy. I tried googling him but couldn't haha. I'll see what I can do.

I went and got everything retested.
With the new batt, my sis bought me. 14.25 at idle. The oreilly guy said that when we redid the harness, we should of used the same gauge wire. I used some bigger gauge wire when we did it. Do you guys think that might be my problem? But anyways my new used complete harness came in. |

Joe you know who to call with the harness. The gauge harness doesn't matter. Its like a pipe for water to flow through. It makes no difference, unless you get a smaller gauge wire haha. That will kill things.
