Now my problem is that the alter is not working. I can jump the car off and start it just fine. i take the cables off and hop in the car to watch my battery die, after the battery dies all my gauges die, and after the gauges die the car will die soon after. does anyone know how to fix this?? I cannot seem to find it. any help will be appreciated.</blockquote>
