I dont know what to do with my sc now. When I bought it, it needed a new bat. So I changed that and was just fine. Then the altinator went out. Changed that and was just fine. Now I'm starting to get problems with both again. Sometimes the altinator works just fine, other times it wont charge to save its life. Ive tried swapping it out for a new one but when they bench test it the parts store says its ok. I dont know what to do now. Anyone have any thoughts on what my next step should be.

Here are a few pics, and I know bad offsets, picking up a set of ssr's on saturday.

Might want to do a sweep of all your ground connections...

As mentioned before check all of your ground connections and for any loose wires. Your diodes in your alterantor could be going bad even on a remanned. Is your power steering leaking by chance? If it leaks onto the alternator that makes it go bad. I couldn't see the pictures ,but is the car real low to the ground with custom rims? A common issue is with the drivers front harness getting worn into and causing a numerous amount of issues. If that is the case check the inner fender well. Check that and see what you come up with.

also check the lead connections and wire condition coming from the alternator itself.

yea, its really low, and no luck getting the ssr's the guy flaked out. and as soon as i dropped it, while it was on the rack, i moved all the wires from the drivers side fender well out of the way. one of my boys learnd that problem the hard way, lucky me... hehehehe

but i havent had any problems with the power stearing but ive got to put it up on the rack tommrow, going to map out where im going to run my pipes for the new exhaust set up. ill check the pump then.
