OK, so I got this problem that I've been having. First off, I already have a 3G alt and I just put in an electric fan, both work fine. This is where I think I have my problem. I have my battery relocated to the back, power runs up the side of the car to the solenoid. It's grounded to the metal where the back seat used to be.
I had to jump the car to get it started last weekend. While it was running, I had no problems at all. The amp gauge was reading above normal. But then I shut the car off, and go to start it back up in two minutes and it would be dead.
I know the battery is supposed to be grounded all the way back up to the block, but I haven't done this, yet. I have a ground wire from the block to the computer ground under the hood, but not one connecting the battery to the block.
Could this be my problem?
It might also just be a dead battery, because I've let it sit awhile w/o disconnecting the battery and it's gone dead like that also.
Thanks for any help.
