I was driving today and the battery light came on and then the CD player shut off.This of course was followed up by every light on the dash coming on.I was only about 5 miles from the house but of course i didnt make it.I just installed SONAR LEDs on friday.While changing them out i had to cut a ground wire on the passenger side main tail light because there was no way to remove it without cutting it.Could this ground wire be causing this or is it coincidence?I got the dash light for the rear tail lights and i thought it was because of the rear ground and was normal(from what i have read in other posts).Any ideas?

Fonzy,i just got the car back from the shop and it was indeed the alternator.I GUESS it was just a big coincidence that it dies a few days after the LEDs were installed.As far as the ground goes i didnt reconnect it because i didnt notice any problems with it disconnected and i honestly thought that is what caused the dash light.I will look into reconnecting it.
