That magic smoke can be a tricky little sucker. Always seems to pop up at the worst times.

I just purchased a Power Probe, so I should be able to check all the wiring for shorts.

Interesting, I'll have to check the terminals. I'll do some tests and see how the battery's doing. And I well must likely be replacing the alternator as well. $125 for a brand new ACDelco with no core charge on Rock, so it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

I have a multimeter I can use here, just not a good one. I'm at school in Michigan, so I have barely any tolls with me and it gets really frustrating. I'm working on expanding but I have to be cautious of buying too much. It's also really difficult not having a garage to work in, but it could be...

I lied about the battery, it's about autocraft gold, and it's still working properly. I have no idea how to go about looking for shorts in the harness. Is there a location where they typically break down?

I believe it is a duralast gold, so maybe I should take it there and have them check it. Last time I had them check a battery, it was fine and they told me it was bad, so maybe I'll be able to get a refund even if it's still good. Then I'll buy a better one. As far as the for harness issue...

I'm planning on checking all the grounds when it warms up this weekend. The battery is less than a year old, so I would hope it isn't that.

I have an 01, pretty much stock electric system except for the Putco harness and Hella H4 upgrade. I've been having some weird electrical issues lately, and I have no idea if they're all related or not, but I'll list all the symptoms here. aftermarket radio seems like it gets overloaded at...

Thanks. I would have preferred to not remove the system, but it's not like it was actually doing anything for me anymore.

Well, I think I figured it out. I was never able to reset the alarm so that it behaved. I believe this is because the system only resets with the use of the remote fob. I have a factory fob, but I don't believe it works with the system. After doing some research, I discovered that the...

The EVS II is a factory mopar alarm. I took it to a dealer to see if they could program the one remote I got with the car, but the system won't recognize they remote. I can't figure out how to get this alarm off. I tried cycling the door locks, disconnecting the battery and leaving the key in...

I just figured out that it's the EVS II alarm. I believe it's factory?

I don't have time to put it back to stock right now because I'm at work. I can get away with running out there for a few minutes, but not for very long. I did try to cycle the lock, but that didn't help. It has a remote with it, but I've never used it because it doesn't have a battery. So...

Checked all the fuses, and I connected what appears to be the case ground (wire that had the female spade) to part of the dash, and I was able to start it repeatedly, which I couldn't do before. So I may have solved it, but only the next day or so will tell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it would be a blown fuse since I can get it to start by disconnecting the battery a couple of times, right?
