The lights on the dashboard were going crazy: ABS came on, seat belt, brake, and battery. I stop in a parking lot, and shut the car off, then try to start it, and all I get is..clik.clik, with no start. Which means i was running straight off of the battery. I just found out my own mistake, which was my power cap wire being disconnected which resulted in me burning my alternator! Went to work at 7:15 AM and got out at 7:00 PM. I had trouble shooting in 38 degree weather. The alternator is the cause, what else can I do? I called my girl, and got picked up. I got another battery from my other car, put it in because it died five minutes from my house, and drove it home.
Bought dinner, a bottle of Henney, a 6-pack of Coronas, got laid, and called it a day. I'm going to buy a new alternator today.
Just had to vent a little, and thanks to !prjctmax! for taking the time to fix my lack of literacy
I still love the Maxi-pad tho! This incident was my own fault, and I should get my girl-friend to 
me hard!

I just had a twelve hour work day! I got out of work, and the car started up and drove fine as I feathered the throttle to let it warm up properly. Fifteen minutes later while I was head-bobbin' to my bangin' system, I hear something odd under the hood, and I think it was my alternator! The lights on the dashboard were going crazy: ABS came on, seat belt, brake, and battery. I stop in a parking lot, and shut the car off, then try to start it, and all I get is..clik.clik, with no start. Which means i was running straight off of the battery.
