I swear this car hates me.
Went to move the TR8. Battery is flat. Put my jumper on there, get it started, leave it idling for a few. Go to turn the car around and it dies. No electricity. Tried to put jumper back on, massive amount of sparks. Check cables, they're melt-plastic hot.
The neg battery cable is brand new. Well grounded. The positive cable is brand new. I can't see any shorts, but I haven't tried tearing out the carpet.
Traced the engine segment. Line on starter looks good, line to alternator looks good. Brown/Yello sense wire, however, not connected.
Is it possible that not having the sense attached could do this?? Or am I looking at yet another wonked alternator and or fused battery?
Galdangit! I pray the whole electrical system isn't fried.
