alright so my sc is giving me trouble again...

when i bought the car, the owner cut the front springs and he did so uneven.
I was driving a while back it started 2 rub hard like constantly. i noticed the battery light started flickering on and off and the lights in the dash were going crazy. i noticed the next day when i lifted the car the wires were exposed and touching. so since then i put eibach springs all around and seperated/electrical taped the wires seperatly....

but now the problem is the car since then, the battery has been draining quickly. the alternator is new and i checked 2 make sure it was still good and the alt place says its giving good charge..

idk what it is.. the mech that checked the car said it has something 2do with the alternator (maybe alt. wiring)because when he takes the negative current off the battery the car shuts off and its suppose 2 stay on, he alsoo said i might need a stronger battery but i doubt that cause the car used 2 run perfectly with that alt.....

help cl want this car running once and for all.....

Could be a number of things, did you have the alternator checked off the car in an enclosure they have a shops?

Have you been able to compare the voltage at the battery while the car is off and when it's running?

Look for the simple thing like corrosion built up at the leads and any loose connections/grounds.

That's what was happening to mine when you would pull the negative off the battery. After I changed the alternator it was fine.

Have you checked to see if you have a parasitic drain anywhere?

i did have the alt check the shop said it was good

as far as the battery goes it was fully charged when i put it in after the mechanic did some checking up then ima say 30-45 later the car shut off and just did the clicking noice and didnt start till the mech put his car battery on it

the mech just simply looked around and i showed him the wires under the wheel well that were bad but i dont think he found any drain....

im thinking there might be a short somewhere but those wires are already wraped up

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking somethings up with the lead going from the alternator to the battery; loose connection or corrosion build up. I don't think the charge lead from the alternator routes underneath the driver's fender, not 100% on that. Double check for loose plugs at the alternator.

ima check for that last i remember the plugs for the alt were gunky and what not ima clean them 2 see if that does anything
