eh it wasnt even the alt

. we had it tested and it passed all three test while putting out 15 volts. so my next step it to let her sit until i figure out what other reason there is. today im going to finish the big three so i can see if that helps at all. the wirs on our stock alts are super tiny.

stock on mine is about an 8 gauge.

have you disconnected your system and kept all the lights off when trying to drive it?

i took the system out right as this happened. everything for the time being is back to normal. i plan on keeping the system out for now till i make sure the problem is gone.
