Re: Battery dying... HELP PLEASE!!

I know tho sis an old post... but just wanted to let the "next person" know that what was wrong was that the alternator was not charging the battery. I was told that there was a a cable that must have been broken so it was rewired and have not had a problem since. :) Hope it helps. Case closed.

Some of those wires are for options you probably don't have, as long as they are not shorted to ground don't loose sleep over them. If I understand ...
