Ok so to start out I washed my car, rinsed off the motor as I usually do, then I proceeded to re aim my headlights that have been out of alignment since I bought it, I also reaimed my hella 500s on the VIP quad bar and reconnected them since they been off for a while. Went to test drive the car at night to see the lights with the stock xenons and hella 500 fogs on(just two) and after about 20 minutes of driving when I slowed to an area of 35 mph the trac light came on then abs the battery then power steering pump turned off. Stop at gas station turn off car and then try to start it and it clicks, I got it to start after pulling relays for the Hellas thinking there was a short but that didn't fix it, had to finally drive home at 4500 rpms doing 65 to keep the lights on and gauges working.

Now my question, could adjusting the lights cause this? Or was it just bad luck and me running my Hellas again kill my alternator? There's no short in the Hellas wiring? Maybe I got to much water on alternator but I have never had this issue before, not like I was watering the alternator just washed of the motor. Going to go have alternator tested tomorrow to see if it's bad.

 

I would have them check your battery and make sure that it is good. Has it ever been replaced?

My '03 started to have weird electrical issues just before the battery bit the dust. Once replaced, all the issues went away.

Do a search on this forum. You can find lots of info on electrical issues.

 

It was the alternator only putting out 10 volts at idle, was fun replacing having to remove the front end.
