So lately, I've been having some of the following problems...

- Car needs jump start almost daily.
- Radio (Sony Xplod, connected directly to battery) while playing CD will shut off if headlights switched on, and or will shut off with headlights off if CD is turned on.
- Alarm is crazy...goes off on its own etc.
- Theres like a squeaking sound from my speakers when radio is on with low sound.

So I went and got me a brand new battery (Sears Die Hard Gold) but everything is still the same...

Does anyone have any ideas?

yup, sounds like a dying alternator..
take the car to a parts store and have them do a load test on it for you.. it'll take about 5 minutes and won't cost you a thing- until you buy another alternator.

if you can wait a week, I'll make you a deal on the one in my parts car.

cool.. just email me when you find out what you want to do..

also.. if you need a new one, check to make sure one from a 93 will be the same as a 90. I'm pretty sure they are, but have the parts store check to make sure they're the same.

Dude,

Did your RIP 93 Have a Power Sliding Sunroof???

If so, I'll take that as well ok?

Gimme some prices on both items (if both items is applicable) and we'll talk about shipping info...

Thanks!

Hey, but lets make sure that I can take advantage of it...

Does anyone know if an alternator from a 1993 Max will fit and work correctly on a 1990???
