[QUOTE="Roland, post: 8571712, member: 647142"] I know you're Out,,, but you misunderstood. The short in the alternator was a "[B]complete short" [/B]it shorted the battery also. Even though the battery had power, it measured as a closed circuit until i disconnected the alternator. Just disconnecting the alternator allowed me to drive home just on battery power. like i said this was a strange happening, at least it was for me. The "birth sheet" on the Alternator showed 166 AMPs @ 6000 alt-rpm (about 2000 rpm engine IIRC) and of course they are quick blow fuses. So highly doubt anything was over stressing. I found out the alternator failure also damaged the JBL MS-2 [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] And yeah i agree the battery was bad and did contribute to the failure. Anyway swapped it out ordered another MS-2 and its good to go. [/QUOTE]
