the wire from the alternator to the battery keeps coming off the alternator. ill have to fly home and jack the car and try to krimp the wire back on the alternator. this probelm has happened like 8 times and sucks really bad. tonight i was with my gf on way to dinner and it happened. she didnt understand when i told her i have ten mins to get home beofre my car dies. had to drop her off go home and fix it again. but i gave up and went to bed.

has anyone else ever had this problem? or know a way i can fix it? ive tried everything. eletrical tape a neew connecter etc. please help?

 

never heard of this happening before. however i hate my evo today too. since i have bought it i have never been able to do 2000 consecutive miles without breaking something

 

odd. I've never heard of this before. Good Luck fixing your problem.

 

I love mine, 20,000 miles of abuse and she comes back for more.
Just buy a new alternator wire if it keeps happening, im sure you can get it at the dealership

 

Yeah man the dealership seems to be your best bet.... SUcks to fork out that cash, but it might be the only option.

 

yes i had the sam peoblem in my 03 same thing that you are describing...and you know when ut happens because you ge the dash board lights brake and battry

 

man..that sux...never heard of it...just take it to the mitsu dealership

 

you are talking about the wire with the ring connector right? Did you try soldering it on? Maybe if you cover the wire with flux, crimp it in place and then solder it maybe that will hold. just throwing out ideas.

 

yea thats the light which i like to call " you have ten mins to get home before your battery dies" haha but yea thats what happens.
but i fixed it today krimped it really good and taped it up hopefully it holds

 

That sucks bro. Hope you get it fixed.

My Evo...43k miles and still not a single problem, with the occasional spirited run.

 

This is very unusuial. I have never heard of it. Most likely the car was getting serviced and a mechanic pulled on the wire with a wrench or something and messed up the connection. These things are not from the factory, someone laid a hand in this one, weather it was you, a mechanic or a guy tuning your car, but that is a human error, not the cars. Try going to Mits and see if they will cover this under warranty. If your car is out of warranty, try getting a new wire put in, if that is not possible, new alternator.

 

Solder the connection and call it day.

 

blasphemy

 

yeah solder it. with crimping it does sometimes get loose.

 

If it happens again Kev, drop it off and I will make sure it never happens again. I doubt we will have to replace the whole wiring to the alt. We may have to remove a couple things to get good access to it though. Sorry that your still having trouble with it. I will change the ring connector and try soldering as well.
