Work car is having some electrical issues. I can't quite pin it down so I may be looking for a new dd /work car. Thoughts ? Needs good gas mileage since I drive all over the fucking place for work . 4-6 banger . And has to have potential. Something close to 300 at the wheels. Sucks because if I have to buy a new dd then the camaro has to wait another year ....... Fml

Aren't you an electrician?

If so, I'd recommend throwing a 12 circuit EZ-Wiring harness in there. I'd be a little work, but certainly a lot less (money) than buying a beater, of unknown condition.


Or I'd look into

Ford Fiesta, or Ford Focus

Especially the RS trim versions.

That would be nice lol. It's been a good car. I'm gonna give it he'll today when I get home. It would start then stall out. Then power would come in and out while I was trying to start it . Now it just doesn't get power anywhere . It's gotta be a ground wire someplace

Fusible link(s)

Start there, if you haven't already. Usually somewhere in line, between the alternator/voltage regulator to the battery.

Yah that's what I pretty much narrowed it down too. I have my jeep charging the olds battery. If it doesn't start it's the ground. If it does then shuts off. The alternator
