Anyone know why its doing this? The thing died on me in the middle of the street on the way home from work. I found the 15 amp fuse under the dash was blown so I replaced it and turned the key. "pop" it blows right away. I did this 2 more times after unhooking the stereo etc. but it just kept doing it.



Any ideas anyone? I just installed a new waterpump and thermostat but dont see why that would cause this.



Need help quick since I need to be able to drive to work tomorrow and the parts stores will close in an hour or 2

Found it. Nasty stuff going on under there. Found a plug that looks like it goes to the BAC from around the Alt area that was cracked and showing bare wires. A little electrical tape and it running crappy as it used to.
