you can only damage the alternator when its running and then grounding the piss outta it.. Why was the car running while replacing a strut?? and why was the car started with something bridging the power terminal of the alt to the engine/body?
How did you short out the alternator?
all thats going to happen is burning up the fused link that goes to the battery. And doesn't hold a charge? maybe overloaded the battery.. but thats no big deal.. just need a new battery. |

Woah there bud. chill out.
We were installing Strut Tower Braces. He had a Bosch Style top post charging Alternator. when we installed it, We failed to notice that the bar was SLIGHTLY touching the rubber boot, about a half inch away internally from the actual post. when we started the car, the engine shifted and the post poked out and shorted... i replaced the Alternator, and the cable is fried elsewhere. i will be going down tomorrow after work to run a new line, the fusible link on the line burnt out, causing the car to not charge.

Don't start throwing "we" around. Everyone knows I don't even know how to change a headlight.

my 2 cents? It was an accident THEY DO HAPPEN TO EVERYONE, i understand being pissed, but at least Nate admitted he messed up and is fixing it RIGHT????? just don't get so pissy over something that is fixable now if it totaled the car then i would be pissed but simple mistakes aren't anything to get all bent out of shape over
