I was working on my 93 and I accidentally set an aluminum pipe down on the alternator post closest to the firewall and it sparked. No power now. optima red top battery is registering 12.6. any ideas? is there a fuse? thanks

 

Check your 120A main fuse on the fuse block next to the battery.

 

That was it, thanks.

 

You have the protective boot over the alternator post? A lot of cars are missing these and its dangerous. You can make one but cutting up an old set of spark plug wires and using one of the boots.

 

You will also blow that fuse if you have moron friends that hook jumper cables up to your car backward.......It's not a real cheap fuse either...

I'm not positive, but think the 2nd Gen. Probes had the same cover, or one close to it. A trip to the local salvage yard or "U-PULL-IT might be worthwhile... if you need one.

 

I bet that cover cannot be that expensive to just order from Ray at the same time you order a new main fuse.

 

Hello all, since this happened... my brake light has been stuck on, on my dash, any ideas?

 

Check your fuses under your dash.

 

Did you do some preventive maintenance on that altenator - post cover put on ?

pretty sure it's integrated into the body wiring harness and cannot be ordered seperately.

edit: just spoke to Ray and he confirmed this.

He was pretty impressed by what Ihor and I do at the shop with the used spark plug wire boots..... "Daaaamn, you guys are pretty ingenious! I've been needing one of those bastards for a while now!"--Ray.

 

All fuses under dash are fine.

 

Could just be a coincidence and your ebrake needs adjusting or your fluid is low (possibly leaking or brake pads getting thin).

 

I really don't think it's a coincidence, the car doesn't move from the garage a lot. Anything other ideas?
