my alternator jus went and i replaced it with one that i bought from HATER (really good guy to do buisness with) and my car is acting the same way it did wen the alternator first went out so my question is: if i have H.I.D.'s would that have anything to do with sucking the energy out of the battery directly or is it forcing the alternator to work harder and eventually fuck up? any help would be recognized and reped for jus no bullshit on this thread please! thanx for ur time!

 

dont think so unless your grounding out somewhere you dont know about ?

 

wut do u mean

 

have you tried taking off the HID's and see what happens?

 

I've seen several cases where a bad engine compartment fuse box caused bad alternator like symptoms.

 

the HID's would cause a battery to drain unless they were on for an extended periond of time and/or is the is a short.

 

well see before i changed the alternator and wen the hatch was running smoothly i had an optima battery and it was handling real well and it was until after i swaped the alternator that i put a die hard brand and i thought tha was the issue until i realized that the battery wasn't being recharged so i'ma try all of the adise u guys gave and i'll keep posting

 

had no affect it was the same result

 

it will take a little more to run them...but the load should not be enough to cause performance issues.

try what Hater said. if your car runs better without them hooked up...then you probably have some loose wires or somthing not properly grounded

 

check to see if your alternator is ground properly.
