ok i got a new battery and everything worked again. But its not over yet, my fog lights dont work (already replaced fuse) and when i go in gear my hud/ cluster lights dim, is that normall.


By the way,. for my stereo i incorporated the am just by cuting the amp turn on wire from the harness and directly connected it to my radio IT WORKS PERFECTLY

When you put it in gear, the lights dim? Sounds like a bad alternator. And that bad alternator will kill your new battery very quickly.

It wasn't by chance dark out was it. I know my interior lights(cluster and hud) dim when the auto headlights kick on.

For the ultimate, www.mralternator.com

Or any QUALITY rebuilt with a WARRANTY. Try NAPA if you can't afford the link above. Stay away from Autozone alternators.

My Bonneville'* the first car I've owned where if the battery loses connection after the car is running, it will die.
