I cant tell what is going bad on my car.  It's pissing me off.

I have an idea:

1). Its the fusible link box and/or wires.
2). Bad Alternator
3). Crappy Autozoned Battery.
4). Ground or Relay issues

My radar detector keeps going off with alerts of low voltage.  The only thing I had on at the time was the stock radio and radar detector.  Even after I shut those things down it (the car) was still dying.  I have ordered the fusible links.  But where can I get the alternator upgrade which gives me more juice?  These stock ones aren't worth a dime.  Oh, and my cables are like new.

Please give me your thoughts.

Cheers,

Slim Jim

The connectors on the end of the pigtail from the fuse link holder where it plugs into the harness.  They are down below the battery, maybe behind that tin plate.  Make sure you don't have a wire pulled tight with its insulation cut through by a corner of the battery tray.  Remove the battery, remove that tin panel on the left fender and behind that relay box up against the fender side they wind up lots of extra wire see that isn't been rubbing and check the connectors where that relay blox plugs in too.
