im electricaly challenged,,,, there its out,,,,,
problem, drove to the store, on the way back noticed my dash gage (volts) dropping, from past exper. my alternator was toast. turned off heater, got home. volt-gage,,in the "low"-red.
took the altinator off, noticed the hot wire had come off the connector, re-soldered wire to connector, took altinator to schucks had it tested,,tested bad. bought new one.
installed, it,
now at various times, when i go to start the jeep, i get the infamous click, just one click, (not like the older selinoids. that rattle-clicked) just one, and then nuthing,
then turning key off, and back on. the jeep will start.
ive taken the alternator back off, ive taken the starter off,
both have been tested and are in good condition. ive checked / cleaned batt posts, ive checked / wire conections.
battery shows 12v with a digital meter.
question, if my hot-wire had arched to the altinator/ or a ground. at any time, would this cause damage to my brain-box-computer, maybe not related, but i also seem to have no guts in inital take-off, then everything kicks in around 3000rpm, i used to have good take-off power,
all confused
