Well.......... what was it? :wtf:

Lol sorry for late reply, was busy out of town working and new years and all that fun stuff..... Wasnt a short or the alternator... was the alternator belt.
I picked the car up. so didnt look at everything, i noticed the belt was the wrong size and the alternator was maxed out on the tension and belt was still loose.
So the belt was just spinning when i revved higher so it wasnt charging the battery at all. Note to self and anyone else, Make sure belt is TIGHT and the proper belt. Changed it over havnt had a problem since lol.
Stupid little things but definatly worth the fix. 🙂
