In case anyone didn't hear, my car died two days ago after I attempted to wire a manual fan switch. I thought the switch was grounded, but it wasn't, and i ended up frying the alternator. it ran ok for a little while, but then it ran out of juice and i had to get it towed. the shop took two days to figure out the problem, because they were busy with other $hit. They found out it was indeed the alternator that got shorted out, replaced it and gave me a new belt also. total cost (with towing included): $419. i have my car back now and just took it for a spin...the voltmeter now reads 14 like it should, not 13....12....11...10 like it was before it got fixed. i'm happy to have it back, but not happy about the price. i don't have a whole lotta money, and i'm gonna have to sell some stuff to make more in time for insurance payment.

2 hours? I'd be surprised if it took more than 30 minutes to replace it. [img]smile.gif[/img]Originally posted by crasher:
