Well, i went to discount today and got



1. new belt (only have one now) =)

2. New battey connectors



a While back i was getting some electrical problems. Come to find out. my belt was too loose cause it to slip... so i purchased a dayco belt. looks real nice. is Dayco a good belt??



and i put the new conns on there. the electrical problems are gone. When ever i would press the brakes my radio would turn off. I was getting up set!!! also my lights would turn off whenever heavy load was placed on the batt. (lights, radio, fan ect.)



I am also getting a chassis re grounding kit tomorrow. should get rid of some more elec. bugs i have



Man do the FC's have problems with the elec system or what?

I'm just glad my damn radio isnt turning off anymore... holy crap it was pissing me off.





Also my batt guage would move. Alot... almost like a boost guage. it was so wierd. Obviously a loose conn.. or a short somewhere in the system. i wish i could just reground every wire in the engine bay area. But that could take a while. I guess the regrounding kit only comes with the wires for the important area's

Knock on wood I never had electrical problems with any of mine,

your problems sound normal for a 17 year old car.
