Thread: Big Electrical Problem

Thanks for the help everyone. I read somewhere that unhooking the ground of the battery while the vehicle is runnning can test the alternator so i think i'll try that and then look for any blown fuses.

Also check for a tripped circuit breaker somewhere in the engine compartment; since you heard a pop, if it was a breaker, it would be fairly close to where you were working.

I WOULD NOT try that! Opening the circuit will surge the electrical systems and you run the risk of losing every computer in the vehicle! That was a test "Back in the Day".... My .02 cents.
