so the clutch finally works, got it all back together this afternoon, drive home went without a problem.
i pull in and park the car and come back 10 minutes later, start her up and the alternator light stays on ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) rev her up, no change. turn her off and back on, same thing. i checked all the fuses, rotated them, no change.

sounds like the exact same thing. nope. see, it worked *fine* all the way home. if it was missing an external resistor or diode or whatever, i would have had that problem from the beginning. i never touched the alternator. lights was off during my drive home. it wasn't until i restarted the car, that it stayed on.

it worked *fine* all the way home I debated even posting that because I knew you would say that. But I just gots a feeling. When it's all over we'll see who's right and who's not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
