Train horn setup is killing my car
OK I hooked up the horn today, I hooked the switch and compressor to the fuse box bolt. After hooking everything up, the car wouldn't start.
So I figured that the compressor line, which I put under the main wire, was interfering with the connection from the battery to the car so I undid that and the car started, weakly
The battery light came on, and I finally got the car started (after 3 tries) and it almost stalled, dropped down to 500 RPM and then shot back to idle and ran fine.
My dome light is dim and it flickers a bit, then stays lit normal after about 1 min. The gauge pod gauges are jumpy too. More so the voltmeter than the EGT gauge.
So I drove the car about for about 10 mintues, and it's still hard to start.
The train horn is going to get it's own battery, I can't risk the car breaking down like this.
How bad is my situation? Do I just need a good charge, or did I eff the alternator?
