Update on my car

[Brian95SVT]

Update:

Ok so I pulled my center console again because last night when coming home, I came to a stop waiting for a bridge so I put it in neutral and pulled the ebrake, I saw a flash and my foglights stopped working and so did my turn signals and my airbag light came on. My ebrake has been acting up since I redid my foglight mod. Well turns out that when I redid the foglight mod, one of the wires laid down in the gear for the ebrake and when I pulled it, it was forced up and was stuck. Well pulled that out, replaced the fuse. Rewired the foglight mod again, laid all the wires so it was clean and out of the way of anything. Put it back together. Went to start the car.... now the alternator whines it's ass off so I have to replace that now.


On another note, I mentioned previously that I replaced my shifter knob to the quicksilver shifter. Here is the picture:

i like stock wheels haha or my welds alot or 03/04 cobras, 10th anny wheels are nice too.... ah fr's are classy but getting over done... it depends on what your going to do with it.

I would rock some 03 cobras but it would be sick to roll around on welds once I get my blower. But I wouldn't want skinnies up front due to daily driven

Update:


Picked up a new alternator. Shocks/struts are in, need to install them.

Alternator installed, rear shocks installed, and now I'm just debating when I will install the front struts and remove the front ISOs.

I need to figure out how to rewire the positive side wiring for the battery....

Write up's anyone?

Terminals are brand new, I need to rewire the positive side....

looks good man! your making tons of improvements.. costs lots of $$ i know. I'm a poor college student, and i've dropped most of my money into my car this summer.. but its been worth it!

 

[Brian95SVT]

Thanks, yeah it is. I am just trying to figure out all the issues with it so it runs correctly...

It's a shame what people will do to these cars...

UPDATE:

Ok... well... Yesterday I was coming home from my college (went up there to figure a few things out) and was on the interstate. I noticed that my battery light was on (in the dash, next to the CEL) and then I looked at my battery gauge and the needle was in the "red" part on the number 8 side (really low)

So I kept driving wonder how it would be as if my car wasn't on... when i was driving. So I pulled over, the second I come to a stop.... it shuts off. So I get out (on the side of the interstate) and pop the hood. Usually if I pull the battery cable off (red cable) and wait a second then put it back on it starts back up.... did this... didn't fix it. So after a while of sitting there with no luck in the blazing sun, I call AAA (towing company) and get the car taken back to my house. Its sitting in my drive way and still won't start.... I'm about done trying to fix the stupid issues with it but I keep running into a brick wall when it comes to this. I don't understand why my car keeps dying. It's not blowing any fuses like it was before thankfully.

I have the following NEW/replaced parts that have ALREADY been installed (which didn't fix the issue):
1 - Alternator
2 - Battery
3 - Coil packs
4 - Battery terminals
5 - Spark plugs
6 - Spark plug wires
7 - Replaced all blown fuses (from other issue)
8 - Rewired/fixed: headlight switch, foglight mod and any frayed wires have been patched.

I'm not sure what else to do. My car can't just be killing off batteries or alternators left and right....

Any suggestions. Please remember to fully read my post, so no posts like "did you check the battery or alternator"

Thanks, and I hope someone can lend a hand.

have you rewired the driverside battery cable yet? check the plugs on the alt and make sure you didnt melt the bastards.
