ive seen bad altinators right out of the box, but it sure sounds like something is drawing too much power and making it work too hard. take it back to where you bought the alt, they should test it or replace it for free if its bad...bring your reciept..

your taillight blows because there is water leaking into the boot from around the bolts holding the spoiler down. the moisture + heat kills them. my reverse lights go, sometimes brake lights. or your tail light lenses. or your rear window ( i've reglued everything back there but the window )

check the amp ratings of the fuses in the fried box against the new one, make sure no one put bigger fuses in. what did the technician check ? just a short circuit would *tik* a fuse, not melt a fusebox.

describe your alt problem ? is it starting trouble you notice later, or does the alt light come on ? this is prolly cos of the fuse box problems. loose wire or something causing the voltage drop and resistance that melts a fusebox. start with small stuff like the plugs on the back of the alt, and clean and tighten the battery terminals.

do you live in south island of new zealand ? cos if you do i have a spare alt for my supra, a spare few wiring *everything* off another clapped out supra ... and if yours is for sale cheap ... mmm sleepy eyes ...

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed. Last edited by lethalwithasupra; 01-17-2006 at 07:41 AM.
