Hood is popped!!!

Update my friends!, Alternator checked out OK. So I double check all the fuses, which where OK. I tested out the main power wire, and b.i.n.g.o. no voltage, nothing from the battery. So I re-ran the main alternator power wire strait to the battery and 14.4 VOLTS!!

Cost of this fix was 0.00 !!

Everything seems to be working fine. Now I just need to find out why this happened. Maybe the fusible link?

Just need a wheel bearing and oil change ( few other fluids as well) and I should be all set

There is a fusible link on the positive battery terminal that goes to the alternator, maybe that fuse blew. If so, have fun finding one. I blew that fuse and looked all over the US for one and finally found one in Idaho or something.

Well after hunting down a decent picture of the battery terminals. I found out the previous owner had a wire hooked up incorrectly. @#% %&^$.

My fix worked, but now I at least have it back to OEM wiring. which is good!!

Reading 14.4 volts!! yeah

Ordered my timing belt and wheel bearing last night, along with a radio relocation kit. Thanks Mitsubishipart.net

Did I mention this car is a blast to drive!!!!

Learning the way this car handles. First AWD and Turbo car...... I can't believe the cornering I can do with this car!!!!!

I would like to reduce the turbo lag a bit. Also need to learn how to launch this car.....very difficult.
